He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in CROACIA F.C reached it. 21 minutes into the match, CROACIA F.C's Sixto Che sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Vinicio Evarado narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

In the 39th minute, Panambí's Nestor Guillelme seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Nestor Guillelme the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Panambí protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Nestor Guillelme had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. 39 minutes into the game, one of Panambí:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. Vinicio Evarado went to the wrong direction when Sebastian Hondo was taking care of the penalty kick which however missed the goal. If Sixto Che had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a very even first half the match was still tied.

Leon Ramond could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 70th minute of the match, but Vinicio Evarado made a huge save. Constantino Su charged in rather forcefully in the 72nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Constantino Su the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Panambí booed when CROACIA F.C was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 72 match minutes in a wonderful position. Constantino Su didn't get a good kick on the ball.
