Arkadiusz Haskiewicz stood somewhat misplaced when Felix Montenegro came free in front of goal and shot 3-0 to the left of him in the 36 minute. 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 3-0.

The wind increased when Daniel Zorita made the kick off in the second half. 50 minutes into the match, Ecuador's goal looked a bit too open when Damian Cielencki came free, but Julio Vera reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After 78 played minutes, Liwocz Brzyska Kacper's Beniamin Puch shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Julio Vera came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Liwocz Brzyska Kacper reached it. Cristian Sancho sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. There was no doubt that Ecuador were the better team. Ecuador's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
