The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The Venezuela fans' excitement grew in the 27th match minute when Venezuela's Tomas Illescas looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal.

Celestino Dei was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 46th minute, Venezuela's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Vasco Lamego fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Celestino Dei took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tomas Illescas, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After the first half Venezuela were leading 1-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

After 74 minutes of play, DUGGAN FC's Vasco Lamego made it 2-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Jonathan Ferrant was left in no man's land by his defense there! DUGGAN FC's Ramon Piarres was substituted for Mindaugas Kiškunas. 80 minutes into the match, Ramon Piarres had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Jonathan Ferrant. Venezuela's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ramon Piarres was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-3. Tomas Illescas struck a weak shot in the 84th minute. Celestino Dei didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal.
