Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Mario Fernandino kicked off to start the match. 4 minutes into the match, Mario Fernandino had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Sergej Bártů. Bantayan BK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Mario Fernandino was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. In the 6th minute Mario Fernandino shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sergej Bártů saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Eduardo Fontirroig had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Torsten Forsell fell near the penalty area in the 16th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Bantayan BK's protests and gave Torsten Forsell a yellow card for diving instead. In the 16th minute, Torsten Forsell hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Mario Fernandino, 17 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. With an all-out effort, Bantayan BK's Camilo Freixa threw himself towards the right post 19 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Viggo Hellsing, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Harald Wikander fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 21st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Camilo Freixa having to interfere. 23 minutes into the game, Julio Chicote cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Sergej Bártů was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After some careless play in the Bolivia defense, Stig Sjödin kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Camilo Freixa. The Bolivia fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Camilo Freixa should have stopped the shot. In the 31st minute Eduardo Fontirroig shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sergej Bártů saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Harald Wikander struck a weak shot in the 34th minute. Camilo Freixa didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bantayan BK. Sergej Bártů showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Mario Fernandino in the 39th minute of the match. 40 minutes into the game, Stig Sjödin lined in a short shot 2-2 behind a frustrated Camilo Freixa. The first half was very even, with the score at 2-2 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

Bantayan BK's Jens-Ove Ahlstedt was substituted for Torsten Forsell. In the 52nd minute, Stig Sjödin got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Harald Wikander's late challenge caught a Bolivia's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Harald Wikander helped the player get up and apologised. In the 56th minute, Harald Wikander hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Sergej Bártů showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Eduardo Fontirroig in the 61st minute of the match. In the 62nd minute, Niklas Lundqvist left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Bantayan BK fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-2. The supporters of Bolivia booed when Bantayan BK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 67 match minutes in a wonderful position. Stig Sjödin didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some careless play in the Bolivia defense, Stig Sjödin kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Camilo Freixa. The Bolivia fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Camilo Freixa should have stopped the shot. Alfredo Ferrant fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 80th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sergej Bártů having to interfere. When the match clock showed 87 minutes, the score became 6-2 when Stig Sjödin sped through Bolivia's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Camilo Freixa. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jens-Ove Ahlstedt in the 94th minute of play forced Bolivia's goalkeeper Camilo Freixa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 96 minutes into the game, Ismael Tejedor was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Bolivia's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Bantayan BK the free kick. Ismael Tejedor kicked well hit freekick during the 96th minute of the match. Bantayan BK's supporters were delighted with their team's performance and swarmed onto the pitch at the end of the match to celebrate the victory with the players.
