After having played for 45 minutes, Daniel Zorita managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ecuador's supporters crossed their fingers, but Daniel Zorita was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 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 1-0.

Maria Marioara in the 54thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Julio Vera, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Ecuador's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Daniel Zorita in the 56th minute. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Mavian UFC's goalie and right to Antonio Arias. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Mavian UFC's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. In the 77th match minute, Ecuador was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Antonio Arias to maneuver through the defense. Karhan Çolak took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cristian Sancho, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 88 minutes of play, Ecuador's Daniel Zorita made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Karhan Çolak was left in no man's land by his defense there! After 92 played minutes Ecuador got a freekick which was hit by Daniel Zorita. In the 93rd minute of the match Victorio Matteo shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Julio Vera showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Karhan Çolak made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Daniel Zorita in the 96th minute of play. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Ecuador had played much better football throughout.
