Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Valentin Lain kicked off to start the match.

After 22 played minutes Ecuador got a freekick which was hit by Primitivo Andino. Valentin Lain sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out.

Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Daniel Zorita ran back to his position shaking his head.

After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Daniel Zorita made a kick off.

A sloppy throw-in by Camilo Gisbert in the 81st minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Penny lane F.C's Nicolas Otamendi.
