Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Krister Jonsson took the kick off in the first half of the match. After 3 played minutes Colombia got a freekick which was hit by Luis Cazalla. Krister Jonsson's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Pedro Manzanares read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 8th minute of play. Pedro Manzanares didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Krister Jonsson went, in the 9th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score. If Abram Sarmiento had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a little luck, Colombia's Pedro Manzanares got control of the ball when Krister Jonsson tried to sneak it across the goal line.

In the 23rd minute Colombia were awarded a corner. Axel Montenegro went to the cornerflag to take it. Bengt-Åke Göransson tried to clear up in front of the goal, but didn't succeed and rather the ball rolled into the own goal to the right of a despaired Peter Belkå. An unnecessary self made goal, 1-1 in the 24th minute. In the 26th match minute, Lite Finare Lite Bättre was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Iraklis Rapanos to maneuver through the defense. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kevin Mastache in the 27th minute of play forced Lite Finare Lite Bättre's goalkeeper Peter Belkå to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Pedro Manzanares didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Lite Finare Lite Bättre.

The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel.
