Estadio Nagano
Spectators: 566 (Terracing: 426, Seating: 130, VIP seats: 10) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Cláudio López got the match started through his kick off. Tsinamdzghvrishvili Brzęczyszczykiewicz showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Cláudio López, who was totally free with the ball in the 10th minute. A collision led to NAGANO F.C getting a freekick after 10 minutes play. Franco Viso hit a great ball. Javier Burrau showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Yetkin Emek in the 12th minute of the match. In the 14th minute of the match Sportivo Fernet Branca got a corner. NAGANO F.C's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Lei Xiao Jian ran over to the corner to take the kick. Gonzo Pereyra's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Javier Burrau read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 18th minute of play. 19 minutes had been played when some careless play by NAGANO F.C's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Lei Xiao Jian was slow to take the kick. During this time Sportivo Fernet Branca's players had a chance to rest. Sportivo Fernet Branca's Lu Ping Wei was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Javier Burrau in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Tsinamdzghvrishvili Brzęczyszczykiewicz was out of position in the 21 minute of play, and Cláudio López capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Cláudio López really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. 26 minutes into the game, Sportivo Fernet Branca's Yetkin Emek nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Javier Burrau made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-1. In the 28th minute Villagra Ygnacio shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tsinamdzghvrishvili Brzęczyszczykiewicz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 34th minute, Yetkin Emek managed to get in a good position for a shot. Sportivo Fernet Branca's supporters rose to their feet, but Yetkin Emek was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Javier Burrau breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cláudio López in the 36th minute of play forced Sportivo Fernet Branca's goalkeeper Tsinamdzghvrishvili Brzęczyszczykiewicz to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 45th minute Cláudio López shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tsinamdzghvrishvili Brzęczyszczykiewicz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

A sloppy throw-in by Marcelino Lara in the 57th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Sportivo Fernet Branca's Lu Ping Wei. After 60 minutes of play, Sportivo Fernet Branca's Yetkin Emek made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Javier Burrau was left in no man's land by his defense there! Javier Burrau stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Yetkin Emek's shot from short distance in the 69th minute. The audience was convinced that Yetkin Emek's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Javier Burrau was relentless in the 69th minute of the game. Yetkin Emek blasted a shot towards the goal in the 75th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Javier Burrau having to make a save. 80 minutes into the game, Franco Viso cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-2. Tsinamdzghvrishvili Brzęczyszczykiewicz was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Sportivo Fernet Branca's Kenney Coveliers was substituted for Yetkin Emek. Tsinamdzghvrishvili Brzęczyszczykiewicz showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ordonez Repiso in the 85th minute of the match. When Zhang Ang fell near the penalty area in the 86th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored NAGANO F.C's protests and gave Zhang Ang a yellow card for diving instead. In the 87th minute, Zhang Ang hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Kenney Coveliers had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 88th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. NAGANO F.C's Javier Burrau played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Kenney Coveliers in the 95th minute of play.
