Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Daniel Zorita started the match with the kick off. Primitivo Andino made in the 3rd minute of the game a quick throw-in and Felix Montenegro immediately put the ball in play. Ardahan Çetin's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Julio Vera read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 6th minute of play. If Cristian Sancho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 15th minute, Halil Atasoy hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a long run with the ball, Daniel Zorita did a trick in the 17th minute in front of PreZiDenT SaRuMaN's goalkeeper, who threw himself to the side. After that it was simple to shoot 0-1. An impressive performance by Ecuador's Daniel Zorita! Suelo Montana made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Felix Montenegro in the 21st minute of play. In the 22nd minute the ball was on its way in behind Ecuador's goalkeeper Julio Vera, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Julio Vera made a fantastic save in the 24th minute, when Ardahan Çetin sent off a good shot on target. Julio Vera came out of the goal in the 26th minute to try and stop a shot by PreZiDenT SaRuMaN's Ardahan Çetin. But to his dismay, Ardahan Çetin quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. Suelo Montana showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Cristian Sancho, who was totally free with the ball in the 30th minute. 32 minutes into the match, PreZiDenT SaRuMaN's goal looked a bit too open when Daniel Zorita came free, but Suelo Montana reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 34 minutes into the match, PreZiDenT SaRuMaN's Ardahan Çetin sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Julio Vera narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Cristian Sancho took the ball and in the 37 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Suelo Montana. Suelo Montana dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2. An unexpectedly hard shot by Agustín Saelices in the 40th minute of play forced PreZiDenT SaRuMaN's goalkeeper Suelo Montana to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. PreZiDenT SaRuMaN's Suelo Montana played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cristian Sancho in the 42nd minute of play. The score stood at 2-2 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ardahan Çetin to make the kick off. After having played for 57 minutes, Ardahan Çetin managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. PreZiDenT SaRuMaN's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ardahan Çetin was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a rather tough play, PreZiDenT SaRuMaN's Şeref Özaslan got a free kick in the 61st minute. 65 minutes into the match, PreZiDenT SaRuMaN's goal looked a bit too open when Cristian Sancho came free, but Suelo Montana reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Agustín Saelices's late challenge caught a PreZiDenT SaRuMaN's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Agustín Saelices helped the player get up and apologised. With a little luck, PreZiDenT SaRuMaN's Suelo Montana got control of the ball when Daniel Zorita tried to sneak it across the goal line. Julio Vera showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ardahan Çetin, who was totally free with the ball in the 73rd minute. 82 minutes into the game, Şeref Özaslan was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. PreZiDenT SaRuMaN's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ecuador the free kick. In the 83rd minute, Şeref Özaslan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 87 minutes into the match, PreZiDenT SaRuMaN's goalkeeper Suelo Montana had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Cristian Sancho. In the 93rd minute, Ecuador's Cristian Sancho dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 2-3. The PreZiDenT SaRuMaN fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Ecuador were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
