Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Ahmet Hamdi Kayıhan got the match started through his kick off. 1-0 became the score in the 4th minute when Ahmet Hamdi Kayıhan elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. 13 minutes had been played when some careless play by Bolivia's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Gunnar Björklund was slow to take the kick. During this time The Big Bang Team Jr.'s players had a chance to rest. A well-hit corner resulted in Ruperto Ekaitz heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. After 13 minutes, Ruperto Ekaitz mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the The Big Bang Team Jr. and the Bolivia players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 13th match minute, The Big Bang Team Jr. was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ruperto Ekaitz to maneuver through the defense. After some fancy dribbling in the 22nd minute, Mario Fernandino managed to get in a good position for a shot. Bolivia's supporters rose to their feet, but Mario Fernandino was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ambrosio Abancens breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 24th minute, Ahmet Hamdi Kayıhan got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. A sloppy throw-in by Joshua Miralles in the 26th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by The Big Bang Team Jr.'s Mauricio Txurio. If Ruperto Ekaitz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Ahmet Hamdi Kayıhan struck a weak shot in the 28th minute. Camilo Freixa didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for The Big Bang Team Jr.. Ahmet Hamdi Kayıhan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The crowd rose to their feet as Ruperto Ekaitz kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Camilo Freixa. That made the score 2-0 in the 36 minute of play. Joshua Miralles made in the 41st minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by Eduardo Fontirroig. The supporters of The Big Bang Team Jr. booed when Bolivia was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 45 match minutes in a wonderful position. Eduardo Fontirroig didn't get a good kick on the ball. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Mario Fernandino made a kick off. A sloppy throw-in by Arnulfo Vergaray in the 54th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Bolivia's Ismael Tejedor. Eduardo Fontirroig's late challenge caught a The Big Bang Team Jr.'s player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Eduardo Fontirroig helped the player get up and apologised. After 59 played minutes Bolivia got a freekick which was hit by Eduardo Fontirroig. After some careless play in the Bolivia defense, Ruperto Ekaitz kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Camilo Freixa. The Bolivia fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Camilo Freixa should have stopped the shot. 68 minutes into the match, Bolivia's goal looked a bit too open when Lars Waller came free, but Camilo Freixa reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The Big Bang Team Jr.'s attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Gunnar Björklund in the 69th minute. The corner led The Big Bang Team Jr.'s Gunnar Björklund to fire away a dangerous shot which Camilo Freixa despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Camilo Freixa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ahmet Hamdi Kayıhan, who was totally free with the ball in the 75th minute. Camilo Freixa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ahmet Hamdi Kayıhan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After having played for 91 minutes, Mario Fernandino managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Bolivia's supporters crossed their fingers, but Mario Fernandino was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The Big Bang Team Jr. walked away with a well-earned victory that was much celebrated by the crowd.
