Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Daniel Zorita took the kick off in the first half of the match. Isaias Sazon could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 3rd minute of the match, but Julio Vera made a huge save. Roger Junior received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 5th minute. Julio Vera tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Pastor Frantzes made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Daniel Zorita in the 8th minute of play. In the 19th minute, Isaias Sazon made a precise shot to the right of Julio Vera. Ecuador's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 3-0. Isaias Sazon might have been able to make a better finish in the 24th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Julio Vera. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Isaias Sazon ran back to his position shaking his head. The audience was convinced that Isaias Sazon's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Julio Vera was relentless in the 26th minute of the game. Pastor Frantzes showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Cristian Sancho in the 27th minute of the match. Roger Junior's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Julio Vera firmly grabbed it by the left post. In the 35th minute Daniel Zorita shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pastor Frantzes saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 37 minutes into the match, Sajones F.C.'s goal looked a bit too open when Antonio Arias came free, but Pastor Frantzes reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 39 minutes into the match, Ecuador's goal looked a bit too open when Isaias Sazon came free, but Julio Vera reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 42 minutes had been played when some careless play by Ecuador's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Conrad Airpoel was slow to take the kick. During this time Sajones F.C.'s players had a chance to rest. The corner led to Sajones F.C.'s Eliseo Claude getting away a dangerous shot that went just outside the goal.

Julio Vera came out of the goal in the 53rd minute to try and stop a shot by Sajones F.C.'s Isaias Sazon. But to his dismay, Isaias Sazon quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 5-0. Eliseo Claude fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 62nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Julio Vera having to interfere. 65 minutes into the match, Sajones F.C.'s goal looked a bit too open when Daniel Zorita came free, but Pastor Frantzes reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Julio Vera showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hugo Raitin in the 68th minute of the match. Cristian Sancho sent away a hard shot on goal in the 71st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Sajones F.C. made a substitution. Rucha Dupak replaced Roger Junior. After a defensive mix-up in Ecuador's zone, Hugo Raitin stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Julio Vera came out of the goal and Hugo Raitin tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Hugo Raitin's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Julio Vera read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 82nd minute of play. In the 86th minute, Daniel Zorita 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 87 minutes, Conrad Airpoel mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Sajones F.C. and the Ecuador players grew even worse after the yellow card. Mo Feng Xiang kicked well hit freekick during the 92nd minute of the match. Camilo Gisbert made in the 94th minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by Cristian Sancho. The home crowd let out a huge roar when the referee blew for the end of the game. Sajones F.C. were victorious despite being under pressure from Ecuador for much of the match.
