Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Mats Nyström took the kick off in the first half of the match. Ramón Furtado might have been able to make a better finish in the 5th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Anders Lundqvist. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ramón Furtado ran back to his position shaking his head. Anders Lundqvist showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ramón Furtado, who was totally free with the ball in the 5th minute. Loco Durazno struck a weak shot in the 8th minute. Dmytro Novak didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Golden Lions FC. The audience thought a goal was coming when Mats Nyström got free with Dmytro Novak in the 13th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When the match had gone on for 13 minutes, Mats Nyström took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Dmytro Novak to make any attempt to save it. The throw-in from Igor Dzierwa in the 16th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Flamengo FSCMZ's Maurinho Meira. Dmytro Novak made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Loco Durazno in the 38th minute of play. A hard shot 39 in the game by Mats Nyström from a close distance when the talented Dmytro Novak managed to make a qualified save. Flamengo FSCMZ's players were relieved. Mats Nyström in the 41stth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Dmytro Novak, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. After some fancy dribbling in the 46th minute, Loco Durazno managed to get in a good position for a shot. Golden Lions FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Loco Durazno was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Dmytro Novak breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-0 at half-time.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Ramón Furtado made a kick off. When William Simão fell near the penalty area in the 51st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Flamengo FSCMZ's protests and gave William Simão a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Flamengo FSCMZ getting a freekick after 51 minutes play. William Simão hit a great ball. The supporters of Golden Lions FC booed when Flamengo FSCMZ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 55 match minutes in a wonderful position. Şensoy Peyam didn't get a good kick on the ball. Loco Durazno fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Dmytro Novak having to interfere. Joschi Hook's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Dmytro Novak read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 63rd minute of play. Dmytro Novak came out of the goal in the 65th minute to try and stop a shot by Golden Lions FC's Mats Nyström. But to his dismay, Mats Nyström quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-0. After a defensive mix-up in Golden Lions FC's zone, Ramón Furtado stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Anders Lundqvist came out of the goal and Ramón Furtado tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Flamengo FSCMZ's Dmytro Novak played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Burç Tokhan in the 77th minute of play. Ramón Furtado sent away a hard shot on goal in the 84th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Dmytro Novak took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mats Nyström, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Burç Tokhan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 95th minute. Dmytro Novak tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. There was no doubt that Golden Lions FC were the better team. Golden Lions FC's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
