Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Francesco Coscia kicked off to start the match.

Francesco Coscia ran back to his position shaking his head. Erwin Jadamowitz had several of the Portugal's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 8 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Wilson Amorim as he didn't even see the shot coming. 11 minutes into the match, Trezzano Sul Naviglio AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Daniel Pimentel came free, but Liu Xing Qiang reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 12 minutes into the game, Felipe Barreto cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1. Liu Xing Qiang was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in.
