After some fancy dribbling in the 5th minute, 楚文洋 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 拜耳04勒沃库森's supporters rose to their feet, but 楚文洋 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Asencio Ecija breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After some careless play in the Atlético Arenillas defense, 何义雄 kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Asencio Ecija.

Vimaro Ferreras kicked well hit freekick during the 58th minute of the match. After 61 minutes, 何义雄 made it 2-4 with a short kick to the right side. Atlético Arenillas's Asencio Ecija tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. If 白然骏 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Asencio Ecija showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from 楚文洋, who was totally free with the ball in the 67th minute.
