After a rather tough play, Lipovljani's 余希勇 got a free kick in the 13th minute. After some careless play in the Lipovljani defense, Cristian Sancho kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of 狄常坤. The Lipovljani fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that 狄常坤 should have stopped the shot. When the match had gone on for 22 minutes, Juan Sebastián Puig put it in 0-2 from a short distance just to the right of 狄常坤. An unexpectedly hard shot by Luis Andino in the 28th minute of play forced Lipovljani's goalkeeper 狄常坤 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when 曲彬潮 got free with Julio Vera in the 32nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and 郭飞鹰 made a kick off. 汪扬星 took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 73rd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Julio Vera. Ecuador's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. When 尹岩卫 fell near the penalty area in the 76th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Lipovljani's protests and gave 尹岩卫 a yellow card for diving instead. In the 77th minute, 尹岩卫 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Cristian Sancho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Felix Montenegro fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 82nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 狄常坤 having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 88th minute, Cristian Sancho managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ecuador's supporters rose to their feet, but Cristian Sancho was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 狄常坤 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 91 minutes, 余希勇 mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Lipovljani and the Ecuador players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 91 played minutes Lipovljani got a freekick which was hit by 余希勇. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling 曲彬潮 in the 93rd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Julio Vera prevented the ball from getting in the gole.
