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. Mario Fernandino started the match with the kick off. If Moisés Marquez had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Alfonso de la Cruz hit a great freekick 4 minutes into the match. In the 5th minute Walmir Neiva shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Camilo Freixa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Camilo Freixa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Moisés Marquez, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Predador's Moisés Marquez got a good chance for a goal in the 10th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Alfonso de la Cruz's late challenge caught a Predador's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Alfonso de la Cruz helped the player get up and apologised. After 11 played minutes Bolivia got a freekick which was hit by Alfonso de la Cruz. In the 12th minute, Walmir Neiva left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net.

Bolivia's Camilo Freixa tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 17th minute, Toninho Leão hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Walmir Neiva in the 20th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Camilo Freixa saved Bolivia from getting behind. Walmir Neiva struck a weak shot in the 21st minute. Camilo Freixa didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Predador.

The Predador fans' excitement grew in the 31st match minute when Predador's Walmir Neiva looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-3 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. 39 minutes into the match, Eduardo Fontirroig notched a goal, 1-4, to the right of Predador's Denílson de Andrade. Denílson de Andrade was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After 46 minutes of play, Predador's Walmir Neiva made it 1-5 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Camilo Freixa was left in no man's land by his defense there! Disappointed in the 1-5 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The wind increased when Walmir Neiva made the kick off in the second half. 52 minutes into the game, Moisés Marquez recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Camilo Freixa.
