Bilbao Baggins's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Pit Sanghirun in the 37th minute. The corner led Bilbao Baggins's Aran Pookpan to fire away a dangerous shot which Raul Lucero despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. In the 44th minute, Kevin Aas left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Bilbao Baggins fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.
