Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Comunardo Valente started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. Mariano Lacasa struck a weak shot in the 9th minute. Ferdinando Scarinci didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Chile. Adriano Carafa's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Thiago Pliego read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 11th minute of play. Velester Football Club's attentive Yin Zhi Wei managed to snatch the ball when Jose Manzanedo made a throw-in in the 14th minute of the game. 20 minutes into the match, Adriano Carafa dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Thiago Pliego, 2-0.

After 37 minutes of play, Chile's Mariano Lacasa made it 3-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Ferdinando Scarinci was left in no man's land by his defense there! Emanuel Gliga's late challenge caught a Chile's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Emanuel Gliga helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Velester Football Club's Emanuel Gliga got a free kick in the 44th minute. In the 47th minute, Jose Manzanedo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.
