Moises Beltran's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Marcelo Cordairo firmly grabbed it by the left post. Gil Leme came out of the goal in the 11th minute to try and stop a shot by Copetonas AFC's Pompiliu Ciutacu. But to his dismay, Pompiliu Ciutacu quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. After 14 played minutes Acuña got a freekick which was hit by Bruno Quintyn.

The crowd rose to their feet as Acuña's Moises Beltran slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Marcelo Cordairo.

The Acuña players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Copetonas AFC were winning 1-2.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Long Liang Wei to make the kick off. After some careless play in the Copetonas AFC defense, Moises Beltran kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Marcelo Cordairo.
