Spectators: 47 (Terracing: 36, Seating: 11, 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.

But to his dismay, Luis Andino quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-0. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 3-0 at half-time.

Tolis Teliadis ran back to his position shaking his head. If Odysseas Vezirgiannis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 64 played minutes Lepνdhi FC got a freekick which was hit by Tolis Teliadis.

Ecuador had played much better football throughout.
