Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Damon Grove started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. After 4 played minutes RAZVAN TEAM got a freekick which was hit by Simon Proctor. Daniel Zorita recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 5th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Julio Vera made an important save on a dangerous shot by Otokar Princ in the 9th minute. The supporters of Ecuador booed when RAZVAN TEAM was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 11 match minutes in a wonderful position. Nick Oldham didn't get a good kick on the ball. Horia Codru 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 12th minute. A collision led to Ecuador getting a freekick after 20 minutes play. Felix Montes hit a great ball. After 21 played minutes, RAZVAN TEAM's Nick Oldham shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Julio Vera came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in RAZVAN TEAM reached it. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cristian Sancho in the 23rd minute of play forced RAZVAN TEAM's goalkeeper Horia Codru to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 25th minute, Eduard Penescu 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 Felix Montenegro came up free with the goalie in the 38th minute, the Ecuador 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 Felix Montenegro couldn't finish the play. If Cristian Sancho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a little luck, Ecuador's Julio Vera got control of the ball when Otokar Princ tried to sneak it across the goal line. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Daniel Zorita to make the kick off. Ecuador's Daniel Zorita got a good chance for a goal in the 50th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 54th minute of the match, Daniel Zorita got a very nice opportunity to score, but Horia Codru was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Cristian Sancho could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 63rd minute of the match, but Horia Codru made a huge save. If Daniel Zorita had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

After a rather tough play, RAZVAN TEAM's Simon Proctor got a free kick in the 75th minute. After a defensive mix-up in RAZVAN TEAM's zone, Cristian Sancho stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.
