2981 spectators arrived at Ifyouthinkyoucantakeme Dome, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Youcandoit had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. They fielded: Tegbo - Jung, Church, Heung, Chee-Soon - Sim, Choi, Robertsson, Yoon, Bjärnsson - Ishimura.

SouthPark had chosen a strategic 5-3-2 formation. Lineup: Barfield - An, Dragóner, Danhof, Tewari, Hwang - Bernbratt, Mabry, Mcnutt - Donaldson, Orkola.

Youcandoit seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. SouthPark clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could, using their outstanding talent for it. SouthPark were pushed back, and had many dangerous counterattacks, such as the impressive one in the 8:th minutes that Clayton Donaldson just barely failed to score on. The terraces were silenced in the 10:th minute as SouthPark´s Clayton Donaldson put the guests ahead 0 - 1, following an attack from the right. The referee signalled a penalty in the 28:th minute following an offence just inside of the box. Clayton Donaldson knocked home 0 - 2 just out of reach for the goaltender. Lars Robertsson had a good opportunity to reduce in the 32nd minute but wasn´t cool enough. The ball went miles over the bar. 0 - 2 was the half-time score. SouthPark, bringing the final ball possession rate to 57 percent, dominated the battle.

Hyun-Gu Hwang stunned the crowd with a brilliant counterattack from the left, giving SouthPark the goal to make it 0 - 3. After this SouthPark lowered the tempo in order to concentrate on their defensive efforts. The game had been on for 70 minutes when Jukka Orkola broke through to the right, upping the score to the home crowd´s dismay. SouthPark´s were up 0 - 4. SouthPark´s Yuri Danhof left the field after 71 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was Víctor Barriuso de Miguel. After 73 minutes Sung-Ki Yoon could have reduced had it not been for an excellent block by the visitors keeper Lance Barfield. SouthPark held the ball, with a clear 56 percent possession rate.

Most important Youcandoit player was Ted Church. Sung-Ki Yoon was a disappointment, however. The most dominating SouthPark player was without a doubt Buda Dragóner. Ben Mabry was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 4.
