Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Sebastian Qvarnström made the kick off which started today's match. After a defensive mix-up in Göta FC's zone, Mario Fernandino stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Damazy Chwalkiewicz came out of the goal and Mario Fernandino tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 5th match minute, Göta FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Anton Lindsten to maneuver through the defense. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Alfonso de la Cruz during the 10th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Camilo Freixa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Magnus Grelsson, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a rather tough play, Göta FC's Peder Rönn got a free kick in the 18th minute. After 19 minutes, Alfredo Ferrant mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Bolivia and the Göta FC players grew even worse after the yellow card.

The ball looked like it was going in, but it was hit a bit too hard and flew over the goal. After some careless play in the Bolivia defense, Joachim Sjögren kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Camilo Freixa. The Bolivia fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Camilo Freixa should have stopped the shot. If Sebastian Qvarnström had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 30th minute of the match Joachim Sjögren shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Camilo Freixa showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball.

Bolivia's supporters crossed their fingers, but Eduardo Fontirroig was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Alfonso de la Cruz came up free with the goalie in the 43rd minute, the Bolivia fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Alfonso de la Cruz couldn't finish the play. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

After a rather tough play, Bolivia's Joshua Miralles got a free kick in the 55th minute.
