FC NORDLAND's Joar Frisck played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Kevin Mastache in the 7th minute of play. In the 12th minute of the match, Andreas Hernaiz tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Pedro Manzanares saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. In the 15th minute the ball was on its way in behind FC NORDLAND's goalkeeper Joar Frisck, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Pedro Manzanares made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Andreas Hernaiz in the 21st minute of play. Angelillo Di Maria who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 27thth minute tested the skills of Pedro Manzanares when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Colombia's Kevin Mastache managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Robben Romero in the 36 minute of the game. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Axel Montenegro in the 37th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Joar Frisck saved FC NORDLAND from getting behind. 40 minutes into the match, Axel Montenegro had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Joar Frisck. FC NORDLAND's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Axel Montenegro was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Angelillo Di Maria stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. An unexpectedly hard shot by Rhys Hughes in the 51st minute of play forced Colombia's goalkeeper Pedro Manzanares to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some careless play in the Colombia defense, Andreas Hernaiz kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Pedro Manzanares. The Colombia fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Pedro Manzanares should have stopped the shot. Pedro Manzanares showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Andreas Hernaiz, who was totally free with the ball in the 62nd minute. 65 minutes into the match, FC NORDLAND's goalkeeper Joar Frisck had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Pascual Carballar. Pedro Manzanares stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Angelillo Di Maria's shot from short distance in the 66th minute. The audience was convinced that Andreas Hernaiz's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Pedro Manzanares was relentless in the 68th minute of the game. Colombia's Abram Secada was substituted for Axel Montenegro. Andreas Hernaiz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 77th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Pedro Manzanares having to interfere. Pedro Manzanares stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Angelillo Di Maria's shot from short distance in the 80th minute. The throw-in from Benno Betancor in the 85th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Colombia's Orlando Tafalla.
