In the 6th minute, Alfonso Arixo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Teodoro Lago's late challenge caught a Billesholm's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

Válbson Paiva struck a weak shot in the 37th minute. Jonathan Orozco didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Cadu Team.

Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.
