Spectators: 50 (Terracing: 38, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 1) Oswaldo Reyes started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. 6 minutes into the match, Venezuela's goalkeeper Jonathan Ferrant had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Felipe Cerna. After 9 minutes Venezuela's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Carmelo Benavides who took care of the corner kick. Manuel Meza kicked well hit freekick during the 15th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Venezuela's Camilo Gaos got a free kick in the 17th minute. SantaAna's Oswaldo Reyes got a good chance for a goal in the 18th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Jonathan Ferrant didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Félix Suarez went, in the 21st minute, to the upper right corner, 2-0 was the resulting score. SantaAna were awarded a corner in the 26th minute after Venezuela's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Carmelo Benavides took the corner. If Patricio Costa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 32nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 35th minute, Félix Suarez ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Jonathan Ferrant was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-0. After 39 played minutes, Venezuela's Tomas Illescas shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Salvador Menjivar came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Venezuela reached it. 41 minutes in the game Cristiano Goretzka did a throw-in, and the ball was quickly in game thanks to Felipe Cerna. When Edgardo Carrillo came up free with the goalie in the 43rd minute, the SantaAna fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Edgardo Carrillo couldn't finish the play. In the 45th minute, Felipe Cerna left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The SantaAna fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 4-0. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 4-0 at half-time.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Tomas Illescas stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Camilo Gaos hit a great freekick 52 minutes into the match. Patricio Costa took the ball and in the 59 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Salvador Menjivar. Salvador Menjivar dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 4-1. In the 66th minute Patricio Costa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Salvador Menjivar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Oswaldo Reyes received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 67th minute. Jonathan Ferrant tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. A collision led to Venezuela getting a freekick after 70 minutes play. Jose Correa hit a great ball. In the 74th minute, Guillermo Mariano hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Jonathan Ferrant made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Oswaldo Reyes in the 79th minute of play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Tomas Illescas got free with Salvador Menjivar in the 82nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 83rd minute Félix Suarez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jonathan Ferrant saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a rather tough play, SantaAna's Joselito Rey got a free kick in the 87th minute. Jonathan Venegas kicked well hit freekick during the 93rd minute of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 94th minute, Oswaldo Reyes managed to get in a good position for a shot. SantaAna's supporters rose to their feet, but Oswaldo Reyes was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Jonathan Ferrant breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. SantaAna's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
