Spectators: 10906 (Terracing: 8181, Seating: 2508, VIP seats: 217) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Akrosa Arneja kicked off to start the match. After some careless play in the Crystal City defense, Adolfo Festas kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Kamasakha Som. The Crystal City fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Kamasakha Som should have stopped the shot. Adolfo Festas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some fancy dribbling in the 17th minute, Adolfo Festas managed to get in a good position for a shot. Clanfield's supporters rose to their feet, but Adolfo Festas was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Kamasakha Som breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Kaninaka Phom hit a great freekick 18 minutes into the match. Kamasakha Som took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Omar More, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Omar More fell near the penalty area in the 21st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Clanfield's protests and gave Omar More a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Crystal City booed when Clanfield was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 22 match minutes in a wonderful position. Omar More didn't get a good kick on the ball. 23 minutes into the match, Clanfield's goal looked a bit too open when Akopa Sharma came free, but Cătălin Mandoiu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Kamasakha Som stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Adolfo Festas's shot from short distance in the 25th minute. If Adolfo Festas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
