Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Cirilo Dunixi kicked off to start the match. A collision led to Palermo4ever getting a freekick after 3 minutes play. Fabio Furman hit a great ball. When Eduardo Fontirroig came up free with the goalie in the 5th minute, the Bolivia 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 Eduardo Fontirroig couldn't finish the play. Alfredo Ferrant fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Filiberto Tauro having to interfere. In the 18th minute, Cirilo Dunixi left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Palermo4ever fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-0. When Alfredo Ferrant came up free with the goalie in the 36th minute, the Bolivia 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 Alfredo Ferrant couldn't finish the play. 45 minutes into the game, Bolivia's Alfredo Ferrant nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Filiberto Tauro made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-1. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 1-1 after a close first half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Mario Fernandino was the one to do the kick off. After a defensive mix-up in Palermo4ever's zone, Eduardo Fontirroig stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Filiberto Tauro came out of the goal and Eduardo Fontirroig tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 60th minute, Lázaro Sein sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Bolivia's Camilo Freixa didn't even have to move. Gregorio Darien hit a great freekick 64 minutes into the match. Julio Chicote sent away a hard shot on goal in the 69th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 75th minute, Laureano Ospetsu hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Eduardo Fontirroig was extremely unlucky when he, in the 76th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. Bolivia's Eduardo Fontirroig got a good chance for a goal in the 82nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Virgilio Gomez sent away a hard shot on goal in the 90th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The supporters of Palermo4ever booed when Bolivia was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 94 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alejandro Villa didn't get a good kick on the ball. When the referee blew the final whistle, you could see the dissatisfaction in the Bolivia players' eyes. They were disappointed they hadn't taken more from the game.
