Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Daniel Zorita kicked off to start the match. Hector Bladi had several of the Ecuador's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 3 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Julio Vera as he didn't even see the shot coming. Julio Vera made a fantastic save in the 7th minute, when Hector Bladi sent off a good shot on target.

Hector Bladi could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 28th minute of the match, but Julio Vera made a huge save. If Luis Andino had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 33rd minute Cristian Sancho shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Svetlozar Karamihov saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
