Spectators: 41 (Terracing: 32, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Corneliu Dridu kicked off to start the match. After a defensive mix-up in Colombia's zone, Corneliu Dridu stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Pedro Manzanares came out of the goal and Corneliu Dridu tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 9 minutes into the match, Dr Lecter SC's goal looked a bit too open when Abram Sarmiento came free, but Celso Trevisan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Colombia's Pedro Manzanares played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Corneliu Dridu in the 10th minute of play. Luis Cazalla made in the 11th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Kevin Mastache immediately put the ball in play. After a rather tough play, Colombia's Santino Seco got a free kick in the 12th minute. After a rather tough play, Colombia's Pascual Carballar got a free kick in the 15th minute. After 16 minutes of play, Dr Lecter SC's Corneliu Dridu made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Pedro Manzanares was left in no man's land by his defense there! Pedro Manzanares made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Corneliu Dridu in the 19th minute of play. Orlando Tafalla made in the 27th minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by Axel Montenegro. An unexpectedly hard shot by Corneliu Dridu in the 28th minute of play forced Colombia's goalkeeper Pedro Manzanares to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 39 minutes into the match, Dr Lecter SC's goal looked a bit too open when Luis Cazalla came free, but Celso Trevisan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 40th minute Colombia were awarded a corner. Axel Montenegro went to the cornerflag to take it. The corner ended in Pascual Carballar almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Dr Lecter SC's Celso Trevisan did a great save. Abram Sarmiento's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Celso Trevisan read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 43rd minute of play. In the 44th minute of the match Colombia got a corner. Dr Lecter SC's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Axel Montenegro ran over to the corner to take the kick. The corner led Colombia's Axel Montenegro to fire away a dangerous shot which Celso Trevisan despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Abram Sarmiento to make the kick off. Celso Trevisan showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Santino Seco, who was totally free with the ball in the 53rd minute. In the 55th minute, Corneliu Dridu 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. When Axel Montenegro came up free with the goalie in the 57th minute, the Colombia 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 Axel Montenegro couldn't finish the play. With an all-out effort, Colombia's Celso Trevisan threw himself towards the right post 58 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Abram Sarmiento, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. 60 minutes into the match, Colombia's goal looked a bit too open when Corneliu Dridu came free, but Pedro Manzanares reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Celso Trevisan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Abram Sarmiento in the 65th minute of play. In the 68th minute Corneliu Dridu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pedro Manzanares saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Pedro Manzanares took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Corneliu Dridu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Colombia made a substitution.

Dr Lecter SC's Wanderson Fernandez was substituted for Omid Kaulbach.
