Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Jaime Pardo made the kick off which started today's match. After some careless play in the Paraguay defense, Filiberto Bernebe kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Jacobo Nores. The Paraguay fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Jacobo Nores should have stopped the shot. After a defensive mix-up in Paraguay's zone, Mikolaj Ratulowski stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Jacobo Nores came out of the goal and Mikolaj Ratulowski tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Mikolaj Ratulowski fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 9th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jacobo Nores having to interfere. Jacobo Nores showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Wawrzyniec Iwanowski, who was totally free with the ball in the 11th minute. 18 minutes into the match, Jaime Pardo dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Jorge Caetano, 1-1.

Primitivo Escribano scored 2-1 in the 28th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Jorge Caetano, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Ivan Prats's late challenge caught a Zero Gravity's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ivan Prats helped the player get up and apologised. 36 minutes into the game, one of Paraguay:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. Jacobo Nores came out of the goal in the 37th minute to try and stop a shot by Zero Gravity's Wawrzyniec Iwanowski. But to his dismay, Wawrzyniec Iwanowski quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-2. If Filiberto Bernebe had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 41st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 2-3 lead.
