A collision led to DREAM TEAM WORLD getting a freekick after 3 minutes play. Lucio Ogazón Nava hit a great ball. When Severo Chano fell near the penalty area in the 7th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.

Iulian Bucurescu showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gaston Jakue, who was totally free with the ball in the 43rd minute.

Cristi Platon hit a great freekick 77 minutes into the match. 86 minutes into the match, DREAM TEAM WORLD's goal looked a bit too open when Cristi Platon came free, but Damian Firman reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
