KENAN YAŞAR STADYUMU
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Sandrinho Torres started the match with the kick off. A collision led to BELİZE CK getting a freekick after 2 minutes play. Osman Nuri Önen hit a great ball. Sandrinho Torres did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 1-0 to the left of a surprised Julio Vera 11 minutes into the match. Julio Vera made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Sandrinho Torres in the 16th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Daniel Zorita in the 17th minute of play forced BELİZE CK's goalkeeper Songurbey Ulutaş to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Cristian Sancho struck a weak shot in the 24th minute. Songurbey Ulutaş didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ecuador. In the 27th minute, Osman Nuri Önen got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Songurbey Ulutaş showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Daniel Zorita, who was totally free with the ball in the 42nd minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 45th minute, Cristian Sancho managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ecuador's supporters rose to their feet, but Cristian Sancho was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Songurbey Ulutaş breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 47 minutes into the game, Ecuador's Daniel Zorita nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Songurbey Ulutaş made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-2. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The wind increased when Daniel Zorita made the kick off in the second half. Osman Nuri Önen received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 58th minute. Julio Vera tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 60 minutes, Osman Nuri Önen mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the BELİZE CK and the Ecuador players grew even worse after the yellow card. Osman Nuri Önen kicked well hit freekick during the 60th minute of the match. Julio Vera made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Sandrinho Torres in the 64th minute of play. 66 minutes into the match, Ecuador's goal looked a bit too open when Sandrinho Torres came free, but Julio Vera reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A collision led to Ecuador getting a freekick after 69 minutes play. Camilo Gisbert hit a great ball. Daniel Zorita's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Songurbey Ulutaş read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 72nd minute of play. If Cristian Sancho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. BELİZE CK's Songurbey Ulutaş proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 82nd minute of the match, managed to save BELİZE CK from getting a goal against them.

Julio Vera took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Sandrinho Torres, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The BELİZE CK fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Ecuador were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
