Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when 楚政潮 got the match started through his kick off. When Eliseo Noboa fell near the penalty area in the 2nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Costa Rica's protests and gave Eliseo Noboa a yellow card for diving instead. In the 3rd match minute, Costa Rica was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Eliseo Noboa to maneuver through the defense. 邓坤骋's late challenge caught a Costa Rica's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. 邓坤骋 helped the player get up and apologised. Costa Rica made a substitution. Alfredo Zoido replaced Axel Tasis. In a very dangerous position, a player in 不死鸟一辉 fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 6th minute. Penalty! 狄光俊 had in the 10thth minute some difficulties stopping Lautaro Puig's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. 狄光俊 came out of the goal in the 10th minute to try and stop a shot by Costa Rica's Lautaro Puig. But to his dismay, Lautaro Puig quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. If Alfredo Zoido had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 孔晨庭 hit a great freekick 25 minutes into the match. With a little luck, Costa Rica's Benito Sanz got control of the ball when 楚政潮 tried to sneak it across the goal line. 狄光俊 showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Eliseo Noboa in the 37th minute of the match. Eliseo Noboa recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 41st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After the first half Costa Rica were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Alfredo Zoido made a kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Alfredo Zoido in the 52nd minute of play forced 不死鸟一辉's goalkeeper 狄光俊 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Costa Rica's Alan Moruga got a free kick in the 53rd minute. In the 55th minute 楚政潮 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Benito Sanz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Alfredo Zoido could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 60th minute of the match, but 狄光俊 made a huge save. Eliseo Noboa struck a weak shot in the 61st minute. 狄光俊 didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Costa Rica. 郝坤彬 hit a great freekick 68 minutes into the match. Benito Sanz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 楚政潮, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 75 minutes, Lautaro Puig mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Costa Rica and the 不死鸟一辉 players grew even worse after the yellow card. 不死鸟一辉's 楚政潮 got a good chance for a goal in the 76th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 77 minutes into the match, Costa Rica's goal looked a bit too open when 柳青树 came free, but Benito Sanz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 78th minute, 楚政潮 left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The 不死鸟一辉 fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1. Benito Sanz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 楚政潮, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Eliseo Noboa was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 83 minutes had been played. The supporters of 不死鸟一辉 booed when Costa Rica was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 83 match minutes in a wonderful position. Eliseo Noboa didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 86th minute, 王奕朗 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 不死鸟一辉's supporters rose to their feet, but 王奕朗 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Benito Sanz breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 89th minute, 王奕朗 ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Benito Sanz was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-1. 不死鸟一辉's supporters were delighted with their team's performance and swarmed onto the pitch at the end of the match to celebrate the victory with the players.
