Spectators: 41 (Terracing: 32, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) A collision led to BRÓDNO getting a freekick after 3 minutes play. Leszek Tuliszewski hit a great ball. If Felix Montenegro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Emil Popowicz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Daniel Zorita, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The corner led Ecuador's Daniel Zorita to fire away a dangerous shot which Emil Popowicz despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Witomir Badanowski's late challenge caught a Ecuador's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Witomir Badanowski helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, BRÓDNO's Witomir Badanowski got a free kick in the 10th minute. Julio Vera made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Juliusz Mnich in the 12th minute of play. In the 16th minute Cristian Sancho shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Emil Popowicz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Cristian Sancho sent away a hard shot on goal in the 19th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Emil Popowicz came out of the goal in the 25th minute to try and stop a shot by Ecuador's Luis Andino. But to his dismay, Luis Andino quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. 33 minutes into the game, Cristian Sancho cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Emil Popowicz was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. With his leg Julio Vera managed to avoid a goal in the 36thth minute, when BRÓDNO's Jaroslaw Zajonc fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. When Felix Montenegro came up free with the goalie in the 39th minute, the Ecuador 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 Felix Montenegro couldn't finish the play. Daniel Zorita sent away a hard shot on goal in the 40th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Disappointed in the 0-2 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 Juliusz Mnich to make the kick off. 53 minutes into the match, Juliusz Mnich had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Julio Vera. Ecuador's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Juliusz Mnich was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. 57 minutes into the game, Waldemar Jankowski was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. BRÓDNO's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ecuador the free kick. After 57 played minutes BRÓDNO got a freekick which was hit by Waldemar Jankowski. Felix Montenegro took the ball and in the 58 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Emil Popowicz. Emil Popowicz dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-3. Cristian Sancho scored 1-4 in the 64th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Emil Popowicz, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Daniel Zorita received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 69th minute. Emil Popowicz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 72 minutes into the match, Ecuador's goal looked a bit too open when Juliusz Mnich came free, but Julio Vera reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Emil Popowicz made an important save on a dangerous shot by Daniel Zorita in the 76th minute. The supporters of Ecuador booed when BRÓDNO was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 79 match minutes in a wonderful position. Boruc Wicherek didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 86th minute, Cristian Sancho made a precise shot to the right of Emil Popowicz. BRÓDNO's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-5. Cristian Sancho received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 89th minute. Emil Popowicz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Cristian Sancho blasted a shot towards the goal in the 91st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Emil Popowicz having to make a save. If Daniel Zorita had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Emil Popowicz didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Cristian Sancho went, in the 95th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-6 was the resulting score. When the final whistle sounded Ecuador left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than BRÓDNO.
