Tiago Corrêa fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Julio Vera having to interfere. Antonio Arias hit a great freekick 26 minutes into the match.

In the 34th minute the ball was on its way in behind ZigZag Athletic's goalkeeper Mehmet Akif Ersoy, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Daniel Zorita stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Nicki Nick struck a weak shot in the 53rd minute.

After a defensive mix-up in Ecuador's zone, Rodrigo Nestor stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Julio Vera came out of the goal and Rodrigo Nestor tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After a rather tough play, ZigZag Athletic's Fidel Shantala got a free kick in the 83rd minute. Julio Vera showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Rodrigo Nestor, who was totally free with the ball in the 90th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 93rd minute, Rodrigo Nestor managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Julio Vera breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The ZigZag Athletic players were eager to celebrate when the final whistle sounded. They had somehow managed to win, even though the away team had held the majority of the possession.
