The first goal would come from a low cross from the home team, but VCF Mestalla came close to equalising with a typical move by Rodrigo Rodrigues, ending with a shot from outside the area.

The additional half hour began with a great action by Gozálbez and a strike towards the top corner, saved by Goodman. VCF Mestalla steadily approached the opposition goal, although they could not establish any clear chances.
The game went to penalties, with Crystal Palace converting five of their spot kicks to VCF Mestalla's 3, eliminating the team from the youth tournament.
