Spectators: 42 (Terracing: 32, Seating: 10, 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. 3 minutes into the match, Ecuador's Cristian Sancho sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Anselmo Papo narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Cristian Sancho received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 4th minute. Anselmo Papo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 6th minute, Felix Montenegro got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. 8 minutes into the match, Fernando Grealish had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Julio Vera. Ecuador's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Fernando Grealish was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. In the 13th minute Daniel Zorita shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Anselmo Papo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Anselmo Papo came out of the goal in the 39th minute to try and stop a shot by Ecuador's Daniel Zorita. But to his dismay, Daniel Zorita quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-3. Julio Vera showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Esbjörn Fågel in the 43rd minute of the match. Real Ale Madrid were awarded a corner in the 45th minute after Ecuador's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Orson Mulford took the corner. A very nice done corner allowed Esbjörn Fågel to score against Julio Vera in Ecuador's goal. 2-3 after 45 minutes. Disappointed in the 2-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Daniel Zorita came free with the goalkeeper in the 53rd minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Anselmo Papo could save by the left post. If Cristian Sancho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Luis Andino fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 55th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Anselmo Papo having to interfere. Anselmo Papo was out of position in the 61 minute of play, and Daniel Zorita capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Daniel Zorita really showed his touch with that goal: 2-4. Real Ale Madrid's Anselmo Papo proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 71st minute of the match, managed to save Real Ale Madrid from getting a goal against them. Anselmo Papo was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Daniel Zorita showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 2-5 in the 77 minute of play. Anselmo Papo made an important save on a dangerous shot by Cristian Sancho in the 81st minute. After 83 minutes, Stew Weeks mouthed his way into the referee's book.

Anselmo Papo didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Cristian Sancho went, in the 85th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-6 was the resulting score. After some fancy dribbling in the 89th minute, Cristian Sancho managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ecuador's supporters rose to their feet, but Cristian Sancho was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Anselmo Papo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Daniel Zorita blasted a shot towards the goal in the 95th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Anselmo Papo having to make a save. When the match was over Ecuador could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Real Ale Madrid throughout the match.
