Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Daniel Zorita took the kick off in the first half of the match. The audience was convinced that Luo Ying Liang's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Julio Vera was relentless in the 3rd minute of the game. If Daniel Zorita had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Julio Vera came out of the goal in the 10th minute to try and stop a shot by AFA Club's Luo Ying Liang. But to his dismay, Luo Ying Liang quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. After some fancy dribbling in the 19th minute, Daniel Zorita managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ecuador's supporters rose to their feet, but Daniel Zorita was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Enrico Longo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

After 39 played minutes Ecuador got a freekick which was hit by Luis Andino. Cristian Sancho took the ball and in the 41 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Enrico Longo. Enrico Longo dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Staffan Nyberg in the 46th minute of play forced Ecuador's goalkeeper Julio Vera to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 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 3-1.
