Halil Okaner succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-0 in the 7th playminute. Emiliano Manfredi showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Cristian Sancho in the 12th minute of the match.

Halil Okaner had several of the Ecuador's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 31 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 2-1 score and a disappointed Julio Vera as he didn't even see the shot coming. Halil Okaner might have been able to make a better finish in the 34th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Julio Vera. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out.
