CSKA ARENA
Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Cordera Nunez took the kick off in the first half of the match. 1.CSKA's Krasimir Tumbev managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Primitivo Andino in the 2 minute of the game. When Alexander Dikanarov fell near the penalty area in the 4th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored 1.CSKA's protests and gave Alexander Dikanarov a yellow card for diving instead. In the 4th match minute, 1.CSKA was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Alexander Dikanarov to maneuver through the defense. Lin Feng didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Daniel Zorita went, in the 7th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. Cristian Sancho received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 10th minute. Lin Feng tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ecuador's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Daniel Zorita in the 16th minute. Leon Jobo tried to clear up in front of the goal, but didn't succeed and rather the ball rolled into the own goal to the right of a despaired Lin Feng. An unnecessary self made goal, 0-2 in the 16th minute. Cordera Nunez could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 21st minute of the match, but Julio Vera made a huge save. If Cristian Sancho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Julian Lluques blasted a shot towards the goal in the 28th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Julio Vera having to make a save. Cordera Nunez blasted a shot towards the goal in the 32nd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Julio Vera having to make a save. Julio Vera took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cordera Nunez, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Daniel Zorita 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. The 1.CSKA players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Ecuador were winning 1-2.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Daniel Zorita to make the kick off. 51 minutes into the match, Cordera Nunez notched a goal, 2-2, to the right of Ecuador's Julio Vera. Julio Vera was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Lin Feng took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cristian Sancho, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Primitivo Andino made in the 68th minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by Felix Montenegro. Cristian Sancho recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 69th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Primitivo Andino kicked well hit freekick during the 70th minute of the match. Cordera Nunez struck a weak shot in the 71st minute. Julio Vera didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for 1.CSKA. In the 75th minute, Felix Montenegro reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Lin Feng. The goal made the score 2-3. When Daniel Zorita came up free with the goalie in the 77th 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 Daniel Zorita couldn't finish the play. 1.CSKA's Lin Feng proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 80th minute of the match, managed to save 1.CSKA from getting a goal against them. The throw-in from Primitivo Andino in the 84th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by 1.CSKA's Alexander Dikanarov. Ecuador's Daniel Zorita got a good chance for a goal in the 89th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.
