In the 21st minute the ball was on its way in behind Venezuela's goalkeeper Jonathan Ferrant, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Venezuela's Patricio Costa got a good chance for a goal in the 32nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Patricio Costa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

Patricio Costa's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Alípio Rego read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 67th minute of play.

In the 73rd minute, Feng Xiang Bin hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The long shot by Tomas Illescas in the 74th minute really tested Alípio Rego's skills.
