Axel Montenegro took the ball and in the 6 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Alfonso Baldassarre. Alfonso Baldassarre dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. Pedro Manzanares took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Claudinho Almeida, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Claudinho Almeida sent away a hard shot on goal in the 15th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

If Axel Montenegro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. UNLIMITED's Dino Verdecchia managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Kevin Mastache in the 62 minute of the game. With a little luck, Colombia's Pedro Manzanares got control of the ball when Narciso Rosalio tried to sneak it across the goal line.
