But to his dismay, Axel Montenegro quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. 18 minutes into the match, River CBBA's goal looked a bit too open when Axel Montenegro came free, but Marcelo Barovero reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The Colombia fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Pedro Manzanares should have stopped the shot. Sergio Batista's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Pedro Manzanares read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 40th minute of play. Antonio Indiano charged in rather forcefully in the 45th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Antonio Indiano the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play.
