Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Robert Covaliu started the match with the kick off. Toader Cojan showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Marco Tamayo in the 3rd minute of the match. After 4 minutes ⚽RAE⚽'s defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Mateo Leguizamo who took care of the corner kick. El Salvador's Mateo Leguizamo was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Toader Cojan in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Valentino Ferrant during the 7th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 9th minute, Damian Oneț fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Ricardo Zorita, passed just outside the right post. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, Gigel Paveliuc managed to get in a good position for a shot. ⚽RAE⚽'s supporters rose to their feet, but Gigel Paveliuc was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ricardo Zorita breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Moises Fernandino received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 18th minute. Toader Cojan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Robert Covaliu's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Ricardo Zorita read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 21st minute of play. Ricardo Zorita showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Damian Oneț, who was totally free with the ball in the 23rd minute. If Gigel Paveliuc had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Moises Fernandino in the 27th minute of play forced ⚽RAE⚽'s goalkeeper Toader Cojan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 31st minute Moises Fernandino shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Toader Cojan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Gigel Paveliuc struck a weak shot in the 33rd minute. Ricardo Zorita didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for ⚽RAE⚽.

Toader Cojan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Marco Tamayo kicked well hit freekick during the 47th minute of the match. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.
