Saba Kont blasted a shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Pedro Manzanares having to make a save. 13 minutes into the match, Colombia's goal looked a bit too open when Saba Kont came free, but Pedro Manzanares reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, Colombia's Antonio Indiano got a free kick in the 14th minute. Gabriel Llera came free with the goalkeeper in the 21st minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Pedro Manzanares could save by the left post. Saba Kont sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Saba Kont in the 25th minute of play forced Colombia's goalkeeper Pedro Manzanares to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. El Globo Tiene Aguante FC's Gabriel Llera got a good chance for a goal in the 26th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Saba Kont recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 29th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. El Globo Tiene Aguante FC's Vitaliy Kinyapin quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Joshua Garrido, made in the 32nd minute of the game. In the 32nd minute Saba Kont shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pedro Manzanares saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 36 minutes into the match, Saba Kont had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Pedro Manzanares. Colombia's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Saba Kont was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Saba Kont stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Pedro Manzanares showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Saba Kont, who was totally free with the ball in the 52nd minute. The audience was convinced that Saba Kont's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Pedro Manzanares was relentless in the 57th minute of the game. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Jacinto Firmo during the 61st minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Jacinto Firmo kicked well hit freekick during the 61st minute of the match. Axel Montenegro might have been able to make a better finish in the 64th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Loco Buffon. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Axel Montenegro ran back to his position shaking his head. The audience thought a goal was coming when Axel Montenegro got free with Loco Buffon in the 65th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 67 minutes into the match, El Globo Tiene Aguante FC's goalkeeper Loco Buffon had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Axel Montenegro. Colombia's Abram Secada was substituted for Axel Montenegro. 70 minutes in the game Luis Cazalla did a throw-in, and the ball was quickly in game thanks to Joshua Garrido. El Globo Tiene Aguante FC's Loco Buffon played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Santino Seco in the 73rd minute of play. In the 75th match minute, Colombia was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Orlando Tafalla to maneuver through the defense. In the 80th minute, Saba Kont made a precise shot to the right of Pedro Manzanares. Colombia's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-0. Loco Buffon took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ignacio Mastache, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When the match clock showed 85 minutes, the score became 3-0 when Saba Kont sped through Colombia's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Pedro Manzanares. Abram Secada struck a weak shot in the 92nd minute. Loco Buffon didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Colombia. Colombia's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
