The corner kick from N. Fernández was powerfully met by the head of D. Carmuega to make the score 1 - 3. N. Nath increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 1 - 4. The crowd groaned when N. Fernández, having maneuvered his way down the right, fired the ball just wide and missed a great opportunity to reduce the deficit for Hagendorn. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Hagendorn, with 59 percent of the ball.

S. Girola performed admirably for Hagendorn. E. Versace turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important caprese player was A. Hatserian. On the other hand, L. Wakefield's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 4.
