Denmark's Olav Graversen managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Luis Tavio in the 7 minute of the game. When Bernardo Fero fell near the penalty area in the 17th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Sporting Club Victoria's protests and gave Bernardo Fero a yellow card for diving instead. Arnoldo Arotza's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Keld Paulsen read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 23rd minute of play. Theis Winther hit a great freekick 28 minutes into the match. The supporters of Denmark booed when Sporting Club Victoria was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 42 match minutes in a wonderful position. Arsenio Loramendi didn't get a good kick on the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Arnoldo Arotza in the 46th minute of play forced Denmark's goalkeeper Keld Paulsen to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

A sloppy throw-in by Luis Tavio in the 55th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Denmark's Bertram Svenningsen. After a defensive mix-up in Denmark's zone, Bernardo Fero stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Keld Paulsen came out of the goal and Bernardo Fero tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Denmark's Theis Winther quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Luis Tavio, made in the 58th minute of the game. Keld Paulsen didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Arnoldo Arotza went, in the 64th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score.
