Jonathan Ferrant showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Venancio Bortzaioriz in the 37th minute of the match.

When the match had gone on for 46 minutes, Wincenty Tarka took a quick shot and it went in 3-0 without a chance for Jonathan Ferrant to make any attempt to save it. 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 3-0.

Tomas Illescass short, quick shot in the 53rdth minute got Tomás Berart to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in.

Matias Papo got a throw-in 60 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Wincenty Tarka. Venezuela's Jonathan Ferrant played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Wincenty Tarka in the 63rd minute of play.

Tomas Illescas struck a weak shot in the 69th minute. Tomás Berart didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Venezuela.

When Tomas Illescas fell near the penalty area in the 77th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.
