Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Daniel Zorita got the match started through his kick off. Daniel Zorita sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Rolan McLian fell near the penalty area in the 5th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Hub Yap Para kap's protests and gave Rolan McLian a yellow card for diving instead. Peter Schmeichel made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Cristian Sancho in the 8th minute of play. Julio Vera showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ingvar Vallin in the 11th minute of the match. In the 12th minute, Daniel Zorita left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Ecuador fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Daniel Zorita blasted a shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Peter Schmeichel having to make a save. After having played for 20 minutes, Cristian Sancho managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ecuador's supporters crossed their fingers, but Cristian Sancho was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 24th minute, Ingvar Vallin managed to get in a good position for a shot. Hub Yap Para kap's supporters rose to their feet, but Ingvar Vallin was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Julio Vera breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Cristian Sancho received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 26th minute. Peter Schmeichel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Ingvar Vallin made a kick off. If Cristian Sancho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 52nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Agustín Saelices struck a weak shot in the 56th minute. Peter Schmeichel didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ecuador. Julio Vera took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ingvar Vallin, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 71st minute Ingvar Vallin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Julio Vera saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to Hub Yap Para kap getting a freekick after 73 minutes play. Elivélton Barros hit a great ball. With a little luck, Hub Yap Para kap's Peter Schmeichel got control of the ball when Daniel Zorita tried to sneak it across the goal line. Ecuador's Julio Vera played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ingvar Vallin in the 79th minute of play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Ingvar Vallin in the 80th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Julio Vera saved Ecuador from getting behind. Hub Yap Para kap's Peter Schmeichel proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 81st minute of the match, managed to save Hub Yap Para kap from getting a goal against them. In the 85th minute of the match, Daniel Zorita got a very nice opportunity to score, but Peter Schmeichel was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Peter Schmeichel made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Cristian Sancho in the 89th minute of play. After some careless play in the Hub Yap Para kap defense, Cristian Sancho kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Peter Schmeichel. The Hub Yap Para kap fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Peter Schmeichel should have stopped the shot. After a rather tough play, Hub Yap Para kap's Elivélton Barros got a free kick in the 92nd minute. Ecuador's Daniel Zorita was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Peter Schmeichel in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. When the match was over Ecuador could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Hub Yap Para kap throughout the match.
