255. Miroslav Klose
Spectators: 50 (Terracing: 38, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 1) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Abram Sarmiento got the match started through his kick off. After 3 minutes, Kevin Mastache mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Colombia and the Monterrey ante el Mundo⛥ players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 7 minutes Colombia's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Sergio Saturno who took care of the corner kick. The supporters of Colombia booed when Monterrey ante el Mundo⛥ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 10 match minutes in a wonderful position. Kosmas Banasopoulos didn't get a good kick on the ball. Monterrey ante el Mundo⛥'s Joel Enekoitz managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Antonio Indiano in the 11 minute of the game. When Sergio Saturno came up free with the goalie in the 12th minute, the Monterrey ante el Mundo⛥ 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 Sergio Saturno couldn't finish the play. When Pietro Salles came up free with the goalie in the 15th minute, the Monterrey ante el Mundo⛥ 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 Pietro Salles couldn't finish the play. Sergio Saturno sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Colombia's goalie and right to Kosmas Banasopoulos. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Colombia's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. Pietro Salles blasted a shot towards the goal in the 27th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Pedro Manzanares having to make a save. Antonio Indiano hit a great freekick 28 minutes into the match. 31 minutes into the match, Pietro Salles dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Pedro Manzanares, 2-0. 35 minutes into the game, Monterrey ante el Mundo⛥'s Pietro Salles nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Pedro Manzanares made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 3-0. 40 minutes into the match, Colombia's goal looked a bit too open when Pietro Salles came free, but Pedro Manzanares reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 45th minute, Pascual Carballar hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-0 at half-time.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Pietro Salles was the one to do the kick off. 53 minutes into the match, Pietro Salles had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Pedro Manzanares.

Nicasio Abad made a fantastic save in the 64th minute, when Axel Montenegro sent off a good shot on target. In the 68th minute of the match, Abram Sarmiento tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Nicasio Abad saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line.
