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. Tomas Illescas started the match with the kick off. Jonathan Ferrant showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Omar Jakue in the 3rd minute of the match. Fermin Basajaun made a fantastic save in the 8th minute, when Tomas Illescas sent off a good shot on target. After 10 played minutes Venezuela got a freekick which was hit by Guillermo Mariano. 14 minutes into the game, Jose Correa was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Venezuela's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave CeciForEver the free kick. In the 14th minute, Jose Correa hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 18th minute, Ronan Barbarin left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The CeciForEver fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Tomas Illescas could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 20th minute of the match, but Fermin Basajaun made a huge save. Jonathan Venegas received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 22nd minute. Fermin Basajaun tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Venezuela's Jonathan Ferrant played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ronan Barbarin in the 25th minute of play.

Jonathan Ferrant stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Omar Jakue's shot from short distance in the 34th minute. 36 minutes into the match, CeciForEver's goal looked a bit too open when Tomas Illescas came free, but Fermin Basajaun reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Pastor Abel came up free with the goalie in the 38th minute, the CeciForEver fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Pastor Abel couldn't finish the play. A collision led to Venezuela getting a freekick after 42 minutes play. Guillermo Mariano hit a great ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Joaquin Inautzi in the 46th minute of play forced Venezuela's goalkeeper Jonathan Ferrant to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

The wind increased when Omar Jakue made the kick off in the second half. It was a well-played corner which Salvador Gisbert managed to volley towards the net. Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. With an all-out effort, CeciForEver's Jonathan Ferrant threw himself towards the right post 55 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Ronan Barbarin, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Tomas Illescas fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 59th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Fermin Basajaun having to interfere. If Ronan Barbarin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

In the 75th minute, Ronan Barbarin left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net.
