Spectators: 50 (Terracing: 38, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 1) When the match had gone on for 6 minutes, Edmundson Ross took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Pedro Manzanares to make any attempt to save it. Edmundson Ross's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Pedro Manzanares read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 10th minute of play. 11 minutes had been played when some careless play by Colombia's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Amerigo Rosini was slow to take the kick. During this time ❇ᛗᛁᛏᚱᚺ‍ᚨᚾᛞᛁᚱ❇'s players had a chance to rest. The corner ended in Amerigo Rosini almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Colombia's Pedro Manzanares did a great save. In the 12th minute Santino Seco shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Marjus Laçka saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Pedro Manzanares was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Abram Sarmiento in the 29th minute of play forced ❇ᛗᛁᛏᚱᚺ‍ᚨᚾᛞᛁᚱ❇'s goalkeeper Marjus Laçka to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 33rd minute, Abram Sarmiento managed to get in a good position for a shot. Colombia's supporters rose to their feet, but Abram Sarmiento was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

In the 63rd minute, Edmundson Ross ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal.

After some fancy dribbling in the 76th minute, Edmundson Ross managed to get in a good position for a shot. ❇ᛗᛁᛏᚱᚺ‍ᚨᚾᛞᛁᚱ❇'s supporters rose to their feet, but Edmundson Ross was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Pedro Manzanares breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Pedro Manzanares took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Domenico Rosi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With an all-out effort, Colombia's Marjus Laçka threw himself towards the right post 89 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Abram Secada, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Orlando Tafalla kicked well hit freekick during the 90th minute of the match. ❇ᛗᛁᛏᚱᚺ‍ᚨᚾᛞᛁᚱ❇'s fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
