Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Damaso Orlin started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. If Alberto Tafalla had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 6th minute, Lautaro Mancebo 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. After 9 minutes Arsenal FC's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Joel Gaona who took care of the corner kick. Luca Zorita recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 10th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, Luca Zorita managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mexico's supporters rose to their feet, but Luca Zorita was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

After a defensive mix-up in Arsenal FC's zone, Facundo Cadaval stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Lautaro Mancebo couldn't finish the play. Lautaro Mancebo struck a weak shot in the 78th minute. Songur Yoran didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mexico.
