Daniel Zorita was slow to take the kick. During this time Ecuador's players had a chance to rest. Agustín Saelices stood ready after the free kick and tried to head the ball into the goal, but got pushed from behind by one of Stream Sponsoren's defenders and the ball went out. Ecuador appealed in vain for a penalty, the referee looked over at the linesman, but the flag stayed down. No Penalty.

After 47 minutes of play, Stream Sponsoren's Aktan Sara made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Julio Vera was left in no man's land by his defense there! The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 1-1 after a close first half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Aktan Sara stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.
