When Gasteiz's beautiful darting run caught the Consanguinian defence napping early on, the match looked bleak. Twisting past Likessquidnowandthen, his low shot from the edge of the area skipped past Sfadro's outstretched hand, rebounded from the post and was dispatched into an open goal on the second attempt.
It took over half an hour for the Consanguinians to finally get their response, albeit a lucky header from young Jeffrey. deFnod's cross curled away from the box where the three strikers were waiting towards an area of open space. Khalhambradoghally charged and met the ball with a mistimed diving header. The ball, upon colliding with the some point between the back and top of his head looped forward and dropped into the top corner of the Star United States net.
The second half began with the Consanguinian team determined to press home the advantage they had obtained towards the end of the first half but their opposition held firm. However when Mister Filthy was adjudged to have been fouled mere metres from the edge of the Star United States penalty area, everyone pushed forward. Skab, looking ready for a powerful strike, stepped over the dead ball and Curio quickly after curled it into the middle. Sandbottom rose unchallenged and neatly nodded the ball past the flailing Fernando Spark. Suddenly the Consanguinians had taken the lead.
As the game approached it's conclusion, both teams pressed harder and harder and defenses were left weaker and weaker. When Jeffrey Khalhambradoghally intercepted a loose back pass from Solo, Spark was in no-mans land and a dainty and accurate chip effectively sealed a Consanguinian victory.
It wasn't all smooth sailing for the Consanguinians to the finish line though, when Mister Filthy, obviously excited at the prospect of winning jumped atop Gonzalez in what can only be described as a rugby tackle earned himself a straight red card and an added time penalty for the Star united States. Gonzalez's cheeky chip flummoxed Sfadro who dived left and suddenly the win wasn't so secure. The Star United States pressed for the remaining three minutes for stoppages but couldn't quite share the points though with what turned out to be the final kick of the game, Garrison's long range effort ricochetted out off the crossbar.
