Kerimhan Azim could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 13th minute of the match, but Julio Vera made a huge save. The throw-in from Primitivo Andino in the 15th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Yaman Academy®'s Altan Andaç. After having played for 17 minutes, Kerimhan Azim managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Yaman Academy®'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Kerimhan Azim was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. With his leg Julio Vera managed to avoid a goal in the 19thth minute, when Yaman Academy®'s Kerimhan Azim fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Julio Vera was a little too slow when Kerimhan Azim got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 24th minute. The score was now 1-0. Julio Vera showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Kerimhan Azim, who was totally free with the ball in the 29th minute. Yaman Academy®'s Aristides Orzaize played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cristian Sancho in the 31st minute of play. The audience was convinced that Cristian Sancho's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Aristides Orzaize was relentless in the 33rd minute of the game. When Cristian Sancho came up free with the goalie in the 46th minute, the Ecuador 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 Cristian Sancho couldn't finish the play. In the 47th minute, Paulino Maldini hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

The wind increased when Daniel Zorita made the kick off in the second half. After 52 played minutes Yaman Academy® got a freekick which was hit by Paulino Maldini. After 55 minutes, Altan Andaç mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Yaman Academy® and the Ecuador players grew even worse after the yellow card.

Yaman Academy®'s Kerimhan Azim got a good chance for a goal in the 68th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 70th 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. Yaman Academy® were awarded a corner in the 71th minute after Ecuador's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Efe Akçay took the corner. Yaman Academy®'s Efe Akçay was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Julio Vera in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Daniel Zorita received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 82nd minute. Aristides Orzaize tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Thanks to some nice moves Daniel Zorita could shoot a difficult shot in the 84th minute, which Aristides Orzaize however easily saved by the left post. When Daniel Zorita got free in front of the goal in the 85th minute he wasn't very focused and chipped the ball just over the goal. Aristides Orzaize was delighted since he was out of position and the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. After a rather tough play, Yaman Academy®'s Artemio Ixaka got a free kick in the 90th minute. After a rather tough play, Yaman Academy®'s Enzo Patxi got a free kick in the 91st minute. When Artemio Ixaka fell near the penalty area in the 93rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Yaman Academy®'s protests and gave Artemio Ixaka a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Ecuador booed when Yaman Academy® was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 93 match minutes in a wonderful position. Artemio Ixaka didn't get a good kick on the ball. When the referee blew the final whistle, you could see the dissatisfaction in the Ecuador players' eyes. They were disappointed they hadn't taken more from the game.
