Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Aristide Ciuvică made the kick off which started today's match. Jailson Aparecido was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Mariano Lacasa showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-0 in the 2 minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in México Eterno MZC's zone, Mariano Lacasa stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Jailson Aparecido came out of the goal and Mariano Lacasa tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 9 minutes into the match, Aristide Ciuvică notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Chile's Thiago Pliego. Thiago Pliego was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. México Eterno MZC's Jailson Aparecido proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 20th minute of the match, managed to save México Eterno MZC from getting a goal against them.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Mariano Lacasa couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mariano Lacasa in the 35th minute of play forced México Eterno MZC's goalkeeper Jailson Aparecido to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Jailson Aparecido was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-1. 45 minutes into the game, Dráusio de Alcântara was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. México Eterno MZC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Chile the free kick. The supporters of Chile booed when México Eterno MZC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 45 match minutes in a wonderful position. Dráusio de Alcântara didn't get a good kick on the ball. Chile's Xavier Figueroa was responsible for 3-1 with a brilliant performance in the 47th minute when he, by himself, got past the opponents defense and with a quick shot sent the ball into the goal to the left of Jailson Aparecido. México Eterno MZC's Diego Ribas was substituted for Marcos Fantini. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-1.

Thiago Pliego was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-5. Mariano Lacasa might have been able to make a better finish in the 92nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Jailson Aparecido.
