The school was sponsoring the match which saw nearly 10,000 fans in attendance.
There were EF students from across the globe, host families, and teachers and staff at the game.
The student ambassadors led Oxford United onto the pitch.
During halftime, the crowd was entertained by a challenge featuring students from several countries including Algeria, Tunisia, Portugal, Italy, and Turkey.
Rachel Caldas, EF’s director of student services, with host family Alison and Tom Martin, had the job of selecting and presenting the Player of the Match award.
Despite the match not going in favour of Oxford United, the EF team valued the chance to support the club and expressed gratitude for their warm hospitality.
The League One fixture went the way of the visitors after a Daniel Mandroiu penalty just after half time secured all three points.
