Defensores del Chaco
Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Jaime Pardo started the match with the kick off. In the 8th minute, C.J. 吕布 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. C.J. 吕布 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Jacobo Nores showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from C.J. 吕布, who was totally free with the ball in the 12th minute. The throw-in from Jose Sanz in the 14th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by ★★★ Lightning Dragons★★★'s Lin Xuan Hai.

Jacobo Nores stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Benny Koks's shot from short distance in the 26th minute. The audience was convinced that C.J. 吕布's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Jacobo Nores was relentless in the 29th minute of the game. If C.J. 吕布 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Jacobo Nores took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from C.J. 吕布, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. C.J. 吕布's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Jacobo Nores read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 32nd minute of play. In the 32nd minute, C.J. 吕布 made a precise shot to the right of Jacobo Nores. Paraguay's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-4.

The referee felt a red card was in order, 46 minutes into the game, when Alan Campos put in a rough tackle. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-6 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Benny Koks to make the kick off. In the 56th minute, ★★★ Lightning Dragons★★★'s C.J. 吕布 dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 0-7.

Jacobo Nores didn't succeed to prevent the ball from going into goal when ★★★ Lightning Dragons★★★'s C.J. 吕布 shot an unexpected shot in the crossbar's under edge and made 0-14 in the ordered_time% minute. Jacobo Nores was a little too slow when Benny Koks got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 80th minute. The score was now 0-15. ★★★ Lightning Dragons★★★ made a substitution. Marvelous Ronaldinho replaced Evelio Urtun. C.J. 吕布 had several of the Paraguay's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 88 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 0-16 score and a disappointed Jacobo Nores as he didn't even see the shot coming. 91 minutes into the match, Paraguay's goal looked a bit too open when Benny Koks came free, but Jacobo Nores reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The Paraguay players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
