Hilário Figueira made an important save on a dangerous shot by Stanley Wallace in the 4th minute.

After a rather tough play, Curacao's Bertie Johnson got a free kick in the 18th minute. When Alexandre Brás came up free with the goalie in the 26th minute, the Safira Harammes 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 Alexandre Brás couldn't finish the play. After some fancy dribbling in the 30th minute, Donato Toscano managed to get in a good position for a shot. Safira Harammes's supporters rose to their feet, but Donato Toscano was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Bruno Barrett breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. An unexpectedly hard shot by Marco Quental in the 33rd minute of play forced Curacao's goalkeeper Bruno Barrett to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Troy Kennedy fell near the penalty area in the 34th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Curacao's protests and gave Troy Kennedy a yellow card for diving instead. In the 34th minute, Troy Kennedy hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. During the 38th minute of the match Troy Kennedy completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent.

After having played for 69 minutes, Marco Quental managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Safira Harammes's supporters crossed their fingers, but Marco Quental was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Marco Quental scored 1-1 in the 74th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Bruno Barrett, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
