Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Cristian Miccoli kicked off to start the match. Venezuela's defense didn't have a chance, in the 15th minute, when Marcial Quintyn scored to the left of an out of position Jonathan Ferrant, making the score, 2-0. Erasmo Cilio charged in rather forcefully in the 21st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Erasmo Cilio the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Anga FC getting a freekick after 21 minutes play. Erasmo Cilio hit a great ball. After having played for 26 minutes, Cristian Miccoli managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Anga FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Cristian Miccoli was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Patricio Costa recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 31st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 34 minutes into the match, Venezuela's Tomas Illescas sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Tomas Baldovino narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Rigoberto Mina's late challenge caught a Anga FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Rigoberto Mina helped the player get up and apologised. After 42 played minutes Venezuela got a freekick which was hit by Rigoberto Mina. Jonathan Ferrant showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Cristian Miccoli in the 44th minute of the match. The supporters of Anga FC booed when Venezuela was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 49 match minutes in a wonderful position. Rigoberto Mina didn't get a good kick on the ball.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Tomas Illescas was the one to do the kick off. In the 55th minute Jackie Chan 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. If Tomas Illescas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Venezuela's Patricio Costa got a good chance for a goal in the 62nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Jackie Chan in the 64th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Jonathan Ferrant prevented the ball from getting in the gole. In the 78th minute Marcial Quintyn 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. Jackie Chan kicked well hit freekick during the 79th minute of the match. Anga FC made a substitution. Raul Erramun replaced Saverio Bartoleme. In the 81st minute, Jackie Chan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Venezuela's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Tomas Illescas in the 83rd minute. Patricio Costa sent away a hard shot on goal in the 87th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Anga FC were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Venezuela for a fine match.
