Spectators: 9254 (Terracing: 6942, Seating: 2128, VIP seats: 184) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Claudio Echeverri made the kick off which started today's match. Tristan Franquis showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Claudio Echeverri, who was totally free with the ball in the 4th minute. When Rick Haremeijer came up free with the goalie in the 12th minute, the Ríver Late fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Rick Haremeijer couldn't finish the play. After 14 played minutes Ríver Late got a freekick which was hit by Lorien Blanco. An unexpected shot in the 16th minute by Mümtaz Teren got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. In the 19th minute, Ciro Egger hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 21st minute Braulio Castulo managed to get in a great position but fired away a sharp shot that went outside the goal on the goalie's right hand side. It could just as well have been a goal. Tristan Franquis showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Claudio Echeverri in the 26th minute of the match. Mümtaz Teren struck a weak shot in the 31st minute. Geovani de Salles didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Imperio Catatumbo de Lara. The Ríver Late fans' excitement grew in the 35th match minute when Ríver Late's Claudio Echeverri looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Ríver Late's Lorien Blanco managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Edilberto Sanes in the 38 minute of the game. After some fancy dribbling in the 39th minute, Silvério Vargas managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ríver Late's supporters rose to their feet, but Silvério Vargas was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tristan Franquis breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Baran Sarka had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 41st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Silvério Vargas kicked well hit freekick during the 43rd minute of the match.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Mümtaz Teren made a kick off. Geovani de Salles showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Mümtaz Teren in the 73rd minute of the match. 79 minutes into the match, Liu Liang Gang had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Geovani de Salles. Ríver Late's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Liu Liang Gang was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. Ríver Late's Dimas Barrientos was substituted for Claudio Echeverri. Ríver Late made a substitution. Carl Skytt replaced Silvério Vargas. Imperio Catatumbo de Lara's Anastasios Machlas was substituted for Mümtaz Teren. Ríver Late's Emiliano Gai was substituted for Rick Haremeijer. In the 90th minute Carl Skytt shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tristan Franquis saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Tristan Franquis stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Carl Skytt's shot from short distance in the 90th minute. When the match clock showed 90 minutes, the score became 1-2 when Carl Skytt sped through Imperio Catatumbo de Lara's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Tristan Franquis. Imperio Catatumbo de Lara made a substitution. Silvio Rainerio replaced Liu Liang Gang. Imperio Catatumbo de Lara's Tristan Franquis played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Carl Skytt in the 94th minute of play. In the 96th minute, Anastasios Machlas made a precise shot to the right of Geovani de Salles. Ríver Late's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-2. Imperio Catatumbo de Lara succeeded in salvaging a draw, even though Ríver Late had controlled the match.
