Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Jaime Pardo took the kick off in the first half of the match. 浙江绿城's 洪钢俊 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Hector Covarrubias in the 3rd minute of play. The supporters of Paraguay booed when 浙江绿城 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 13 match minutes in a wonderful position. 罗宽榕 didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 13th minute of the match Jaime Pardo shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but 洪钢俊 showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Sancarbey Sefer struck a weak shot in the 15th minute. Jacobo Nores didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for 浙江绿城. Jacobo Nores was out of position in the 19 minute of play, and Sancarbey Sefer capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Sancarbey Sefer really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. After 25 minutes of play, Paraguay's Jaime Pardo made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. 洪钢俊 was left in no man's land by his defense there! 程悦岚 hit a great freekick 29 minutes into the match. Hector Covarrubias struck a weak shot in the 30th minute. 洪钢俊 didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Paraguay.

After 68 minutes, Sancarbey Sefer made it 2-2 with a short kick to the right side. Paraguay's Jacobo Nores tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. If Hector Covarrubias had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
