Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Antón Lackovič started the match with the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Tomas Illescas in the 6th minute of play forced FC Dudlo's goalkeeper Aparicio Pacheco to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 11 played minutes FC Dudlo got a freekick which was hit by Rômulo Loureiro. Antón Lackovič fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jonathan Ferrant having to interfere. A throw-in in the 18th minute of the game was made by Rômulo Loureiro with İstemihan Hedef as target, who quickly passed the ball forward. 24 minutes into the match, Tomas Illescas notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of FC Dudlo's Aparicio Pacheco. Aparicio Pacheco was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Venezuela's Jonathan Ferrant played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Codrin Şandru in the 30th minute of play. 31 minutes into the match, Venezuela's Tomas Illescas sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Aparicio Pacheco narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 32nd minute of the match Venezuela got a corner. FC Dudlo's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Tomas Illescas ran over to the corner to take the kick. Salvador Gisbert was in a good position and managed to take a shot, but he missed just to the outside of the post. Jonathan Ferrant took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Karim Guède, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 41 minutes, Karim Guède mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the FC Dudlo and the Venezuela players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 42nd minute, Karim Guède hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 43rd minute the ball was on its way in behind FC Dudlo's goalkeeper Aparicio Pacheco, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 46 minutes had been played when some careless play by Venezuela's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Karim Guède was slow to take the kick. During this time FC Dudlo's players had a chance to rest. The corner led FC Dudlo's Karim Guède to fire away a dangerous shot which Jonathan Ferrant despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. The FC Dudlo players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Venezuela were winning 0-1.

The wind increased when Tomas Illescas made the kick off in the second half. In the 53rd minute of the game Rômulo Loureiro made a throw-in which İstemihan Hedef played forward. Jonathan Ferrant showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Antón Lackovič, who was totally free with the ball in the 55th minute. 58 minutes into the match, FC Dudlo's goalkeeper Aparicio Pacheco had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Tomas Illescas. Tomas Illescas came free with the goalkeeper in the 67th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Aparicio Pacheco could save by the left post. Venezuela's Jonathan Ferrant played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Karim Guède in the 77th minute of play. If Tomas Illescas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the final whistle went the supporters of Venezuela were delighted that their team had defeated the much more dominant FC Dudlo side.
