Atlanta booed when SimuV3 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 5 match minutes in a wonderful position. Javier Sein didn't get a good kick on the ball.

After having played for 22 minutes, Aurelio Luken managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. C. A. Atlanta's supporters crossed their fingers, but Aurelio Luken was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 26th minute Fabian Camerino shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Silvano Dominguez saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
