A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Lambardos. Lineup: Constantin - Sahlland, Arājs, Boldizsár - Smith, Wu, Robert, Walker, Stockton - Smith, Petty.

For their match strategy, Chiquesalunga had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. After 17 minutes, Lambardos's J. Robert made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. Chiquesalunga almost scored after a swift counterattack 28 minutes into the game, but T. Dewitt put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Lambardos had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

After 51 minutes of game time, W. Petty had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but H. Carlsson was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, P. Więcaszek got himself booked. The manager of Chiquesalunga was not happy. With 62 minutes played, G. Hillen of Chiquesalunga fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The home crowd was not impressed when J. Sahlland came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 77 minutes. Lambardos were now up 0 - 2. The home side worked their way through the middle and almost got one back when A. Tonkonog tried to sneak the ball past the keeper. S. Constantin was too alert for that! Just a few inches to the right, and the visitors could have had a goal 82 minutes into the match. N. Walker surely wishes he could do that free kick over again. Lambardos enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.

Chiquesalunga's top performer was clearly T. Dewitt. G. Aponte was a disappointment, however. Lambardos's best player was N. Walker. On the other hand, L. Boldizsár's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 2.
