Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Tomas Illescas kicked off to start the match. In the 5th minute Tomas Illescas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gerrit Cronen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Tomas Illescas took the ball and in the 5 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Gerrit Cronen. Gerrit Cronen dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. After 10 minutes of play, Venezuela's Tomas Illescas made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Gerrit Cronen was left in no man's land by his defense there! Guillermo Mariano kicked well hit freekick during the 15th minute of the match. Venezuela's Jonathan Ferrant proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 16th minute of the match, managed to save Venezuela from getting a goal against them. Jonathan Ferrant made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from César Eger in the 18th minute of play. In the 19th minute, César Eger made a precise shot to the right of Jonathan Ferrant. Venezuela's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-2. 22 minutes into the match, S.C.PAULISTA's Leonidas Orange sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Jonathan Ferrant narrowly saved just below the crossbar. With an all-out effort, S.C.PAULISTA's Jonathan Ferrant threw himself towards the right post 25 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from César Eger, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. A collision led to Venezuela getting a freekick after 31 minutes play. Patricio Costa hit a great ball. The supporters of S.C.PAULISTA booed when Venezuela was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 36 match minutes in a wonderful position. Camilo Gaos didn't get a good kick on the ball. Patricio Costa struck a weak shot in the 43rd minute. Gerrit Cronen didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Venezuela. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Leonidas Orange to make the kick off. An unexpected shot in the 52nd minute by Patricio Costa got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. S.C.PAULISTA's Florian Pilipiec quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Guillermo Mariano, made in the 54th minute of the game. 58 minutes into the match, César Eger had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Jonathan Ferrant. Venezuela's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that César Eger was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-2. Jonathan Ferrant made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from César Eger in the 63rd minute of play. In the 65th minute S.C.PAULISTA were awarded a corner. Jorge Neto went to the cornerflag to take it. The corner led to S.C.PAULISTA's Vivaldo Campidelis getting away a dangerous shot that went just outside the goal. Venezuela's Jonathan Ferrant played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Florian Pilipiec in the 65th minute of play. 79 minutes into the match, S.C.PAULISTA's goalkeeper Gerrit Cronen had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Tomas Illescas. Gerrit Cronen showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Patricio Costa, who was totally free with the ball in the 80th minute. If César Eger had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Jonathan Ferrant made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from César Eger in the 93rd minute of play.
