Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Facundo Nazario took the kick off in the first half of the match. 5 minutes into the match, Facundo Nazario notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Jordan's Ken Warner. Ken Warner was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 9 minutes into the match, Jordan's goal looked a bit too open when Facundo Nazario came free, but Ken Warner reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Christopher Lofthouse got free with Krasimir Mishovski in the 12th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Krasimir Mishovski took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Hugh Pope, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Facundo Nazario received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 24th minute. Ken Warner tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 31 minutes into the match, Lokomotiv Plovdiv's goal looked a bit too open when Hugh Pope came free, but Krasimir Mishovski reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
