After 7 minutes of play, Tᴜʀᴋᴇʏ Lɪᴏɴꜱ FC's Benedicto Bihar made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Thiago Pliego was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 11th minute Benedicto Bihar shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Thiago Pliego saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the match had gone on for 14 minutes, Benedicto Bihar took a quick shot and it went in 2-0 without a chance for Thiago Pliego to make any attempt to save it. Jose Manzanedo made in the 21st minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by Tᴜʀᴋᴇʏ Lɪᴏɴꜱ FC's Robustiano Eron. With 27 minutes on the clock, Gerardo Pozo commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. After 27 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Chile! In the 32nd match minute, Chile was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Francisco Carballar to maneuver through the defense. Chile's Mariano Lacasa got a good chance for a goal in the 39th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Chile's Thiago Pliego proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 42nd minute of the match, managed to save Chile from getting a goal against them. Benedicto Bihar's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Thiago Pliego read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 44th minute of play. In the 45th minute Tᴜʀᴋᴇʏ Lɪᴏɴꜱ FC were awarded a corner. Seçkin Öksüzoğlu went to the cornerflag to take it. Helge Kozub made a great header on Tᴜʀᴋᴇʏ Lɪᴏɴꜱ FC's corner, it was just that Chile's Thiago Pliego managed to reach the ball for a save. 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 4-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Benedicto Bihar was the one to do the kick off. After a rather tough play, Tᴜʀᴋᴇʏ Lɪᴏɴꜱ FC's Bernardo Sasso got a free kick in the 54th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 58th minute, Benedicto Bihar managed to get in a good position for a shot. Tᴜʀᴋᴇʏ Lɪᴏɴꜱ FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Benedicto Bihar was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Thiago Pliego breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Thiago Pliego came out of the goal in the 60th minute to try and stop a shot by Tᴜʀᴋᴇʏ Lɪᴏɴꜱ FC's Seçkin Öksüzoğlu. But to his dismay, Seçkin Öksüzoğlu quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 5-0. Guillermo Fontirroig fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Batıkan Muhsin having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Tᴜʀᴋᴇʏ Lɪᴏɴꜱ FC's Bernardo Sasso got a free kick in the 66th minute. Jose Manzanedo made in the 69th minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by Tᴜʀᴋᴇʏ Lɪᴏɴꜱ FC's Marcel Méjean. After some careless play in the Tᴜʀᴋᴇʏ Lɪᴏɴꜱ FC defense, Guillermo Fontirroig kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Batıkan Muhsin. The Tᴜʀᴋᴇʏ Lɪᴏɴꜱ FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Batıkan Muhsin should have stopped the shot. If Orlando Casaus had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Orlando Casaus could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 88th minute of the match, but Batıkan Muhsin made a huge save. Orlando Casaus received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 89th minute. Batıkan Muhsin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The Tᴜʀᴋᴇʏ Lɪᴏɴꜱ FC support was delighted with a win in a match that could easily have ended differently.
