Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) After a rather tough play, LUPI's Elia Renzi got a free kick in the 10th minute. LUPI's Bernardo Orsini played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alfredo Ferrant in the 11th minute of play. Bianco Attili scored 0-1 in the 16th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Camilo Freixa, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 23 minutes into the match, Alex Abbagnale notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Bolivia's Camilo Freixa. Camilo Freixa was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. An unexpected shot in the 26th minute by Alfredo Ferrant got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. After a defensive mix-up in LUPI's zone, Julio Chicote stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Bernardo Orsini came out of the goal and Julio Chicote tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Bolivia's Eduardo Fontirroig got a good chance for a goal in the 38th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. With a little luck, LUPI's Bernardo Orsini got control of the ball when Eduardo Fontirroig tried to sneak it across the goal line. Mario Fernandino sent away a hard shot on goal in the 44th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Bernardo Orsini made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mario Fernandino in the 53rd minute of play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Eduardo Fontirroig during the 60th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Eduardo Fontirroig hit a great freekick 60 minutes into the match. In the 62nd minute, Eduardo Fontirroig made a precise shot to the right of Bernardo Orsini. LUPI's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-2. Eduardo Fontirroig recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 65th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 66th minute Eduardo Fontirroig shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bernardo Orsini saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience was convinced that Alex Abbagnale's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Camilo Freixa was relentless in the 68th minute of the game. Bernardo Orsini took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Eduardo Fontirroig, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Julio Chicote took the ball and in the 78 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Bernardo Orsini. Bernardo Orsini dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-2. In the 85th minute, Mario Fernandino left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Bolivia fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-3. After having played for 91 minutes, Julio Chicote managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Bolivia's supporters crossed their fingers, but Julio Chicote was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Julio Chicote received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 93rd minute. Bernardo Orsini tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
