When Klas Malmberg came up free with the goalie in the 21st minute, the Blue Boys Predators 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 Klas Malmberg couldn't finish the play. When the match had gone on for 23 minutes, Wladyslaw Ruzicki put it in 1-1 from a short distance just to the right of José Chilavert. If Wladyslaw Ruzicki had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 32nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
