Estadio Nacional
Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, 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. Eyüp Kılınç started the match with the kick off. If Eyüp Kılınç had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 10 minutes into the game, CİMBOM FC's Muhammed Kılınç nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Ricardo Zorita made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. With a little luck, CİMBOM FC's Samim Akbudun got control of the ball when Moises Fernandino tried to sneak it across the goal line. A throw-in in the 16th minute of the game was made by Naim Tezalp with Atilla Bumin Direnç as target, who quickly passed the ball forward. In the 18th minute the ball was on its way in behind El Salvador's goalkeeper Ricardo Zorita, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. When Muhammed Kılınç came up free with the goalie in the 20th minute, the CİMBOM FC 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 Muhammed Kılınç couldn't finish the play. 22 minutes into the game, Moises Fernandino cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1. Samim Akbudun was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Moises Fernandino struck a weak shot in the 27th minute. Samim Akbudun didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for El Salvador. Samim Akbudun was a little too slow when Abram Luque got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 29th minute. The score was now 2-1. In the 32nd minute of the game Naim Tezalp made a throw-in which Atilla Bumin Direnç played forward. Eyüp Kılınç sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ricardo Zorita showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Eyüp Kılınç, who was totally free with the ball in the 43rd minute. Joshua Curbelo hit a great freekick 44 minutes into the match. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-2 at half-time.

The wind increased when Moises Fernandino made the kick off in the second half. 54 minutes into the match, El Salvador's Moises Fernandino sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Samim Akbudun narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 62nd minute Eyüp Kılınç shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ricardo Zorita saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. CİMBOM FC's Samim Akbudun played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Moises Fernandino in the 63rd minute of play. Muhammed Kılınç fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 65th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ricardo Zorita having to interfere. Ricardo Zorita was out of position in the 75 minute of play, and Eyüp Kılınç capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Eyüp Kılınç really showed his touch with that goal: 3-3. In the 82nd minute, Muhammed Kılınç fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. After 85 played minutes CİMBOM FC got a freekick which was hit by Bumin Şahinter. Abram Luque sent away a hard shot on goal in the 87th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After having played for 89 minutes, Muhammed Kılınç managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. CİMBOM FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Muhammed Kılınç was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Eyüp Kılınç received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 98th minute. Ricardo Zorita tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. CİMBOM FC were unable to convert their possession into goals, allowing El Salvador to leave the ground with a draw.
