Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Edgaras Patamsis kicked off to start the match. An unexpected shot in the 9th minute by Abram Luque got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. Jorge Magrina hit a great freekick 12 minutes into the match. Edgaras Patamsis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 15th minute, Arvydas Liaugminas made a precise shot to the right of Ricardo Zorita. El Salvador's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. 27 minutes into the game, Herkus Dambys was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. FC LORD-Racing's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave El Salvador the free kick. In the 27th minute, Herkus Dambys hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 28th minute Moises Fernandino shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jonas Grigutis saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Saulius Tulčius charged in rather forcefully in the 29th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Saulius Tulčius the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 29th minute, Saulius Tulčius hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With a little luck, FC LORD-Racing's Jonas Grigutis got control of the ball when Moises Fernandino tried to sneak it across the goal line. Edgaras Patamsis struck a weak shot in the 33rd minute. Ricardo Zorita didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for FC LORD-Racing. Ricardo Zorita took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Edgaras Patamsis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. A collision led to El Salvador getting a freekick after 38 minutes play. Abram Luque hit a great ball. Ricardo Zorita showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Arvydas Liaugminas in the 39th minute of the match. Saulius Tulčius fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 44th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ricardo Zorita having to interfere. Joshua Curbelo recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 46th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Moises Fernandino's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Jonas Grigutis firmly grabbed it by the left post. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Moises Fernandino stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Saulius Tulčius received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 60th minute. Ricardo Zorita tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Moises Fernandino came up free with the goalie in the 65th minute, the El Salvador 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 Moises Fernandino couldn't finish the play. In the 70th minute, Zigmantas Sviderskis hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some careless play in the El Salvador defense, Arvydas Liaugminas kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Ricardo Zorita. The El Salvador fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Ricardo Zorita should have stopped the shot. In the 78th match minute, El Salvador was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Valentino Ferrant to maneuver through the defense. The supporters of FC LORD-Racing booed when El Salvador was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 81 match minutes in a wonderful position. Marco Tamayo didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 82nd minute of the match Herkus Dambys sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Ricardo Zorita skillfully saved the ball. FC LORD-Racing's Arvydas Liaugminas got a good chance for a goal in the 86th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.
