The CRUZ DEL SUR fans' excitement grew in the 2nd match minute when CRUZ DEL SUR's Anacleto Tirado looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal.

Abdul Esquerra received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 6th minute. Eligijus Kavaliūnas tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
