The terraces were silenced after 19 minutes when Wheldon's W. Hargis put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack on the right. Following a foul after 27 minutes, Mothy got themselves a free kick just outside the penalty area. C. Dalton levelled the scoreline - 1 - 1. After 34 minutes, B. Tyne came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 2 - 1, giving Mothy the lead. W. Hargis could have made it all square after 40 minutes, if only his free kick had been a few inches to the other side of the post. Halftime score was 2 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Mothy, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

61 minutes in, Wheldon's N. Draughn received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The score became 3 - 1 at 73 minutes into the game, when Mothy were given a penalty which C. Dalton blasted straight down the middle giving the keeper no chance! Mothy put themselves up 4 - 1 when M. Weitzen broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. By now, the players in Mothy felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Wheldon needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 77 minutes F. Tielemann made way for C. Kennedy. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Mothy, with 61 percent of the ball.

Mothy's best player was A. Eade. D. Oduro turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Wheldon player was without a doubt T. Donati. C. Kennedy on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 4 - 1.
