Primitivo Escribano blasted a shot towards the goal in the 8th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without 沈诚庭 having to make a save. Alan Campos hit a great freekick 10 minutes into the match. 傅谦泉 was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 11th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. If Jaime Pardo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Jacobo Nores showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from 邓鸿光, who was totally free with the ball in the 20th minute. Thanks to some nice moves Primitivo Escribano could shoot a difficult shot in the 23rd minute, which 沈诚庭 however easily saved by the left post. When 邓鸿光 came up free with the goalie in the 26th minute, the ≮王者归来≯东风夜放花千树 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 邓鸿光 couldn't finish the play. 28 minutes into the game, 庞常卫 was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. ≮王者归来≯东风夜放花千树's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Paraguay the free kick. Jaime Pardo shot from long distance after 29 played minutes, a shot that 沈诚庭 with certain difficulty stopped from going in under the crossbar. 沈诚庭 made an important save on a dangerous shot by Primitivo Escribano in the 33rd minute. 秦强 kicked well hit freekick during the 34th minute of the match. 秦强 hit a great freekick 35 minutes into the match. 唐远峰 kicked well hit freekick during the 42nd minute of the match. 沈诚庭 was a little too slow when Hector Covarrubias got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 45th minute. The score was now 1-0. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

After 51 played minutes Paraguay got a freekick which was hit by Xavier Zoido. Raul Venegas was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 53 minutes into the match. 52 minutes into the game, one of Paraguay:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. After having played for 57 minutes, 庄鹰 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. ≮王者归来≯东风夜放花千树's supporters crossed their fingers, but 庄鹰 was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 63rd minute Hector Covarrubias shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 沈诚庭 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 66th minute, 庄鹰 managed to get in a good position for a shot. ≮王者归来≯东风夜放花千树's supporters rose to their feet, but 庄鹰 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Jacobo Nores breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 73rd match minute, Paraguay was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Hector Covarrubias to maneuver through the defense. If Juan Diego Tenorio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 秦强 hit a great freekick 80 minutes into the match. Despite being the better team, Paraguay failed to find the winning goal and were forced to settle for a single point.
