Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Marius Macovei took the kick off in the first half of the match. 3 minutes into the match, Colombia's goalkeeper Pedro Manzanares had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Marius Macovei. MasterBets were awarded a corner in the 4th minute after Colombia's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Horaţiu Ţurlău took the corner. Orlando Tafalla tried to clear up in front of the goal, but didn't succeed and rather the ball rolled into the own goal to the right of a despaired Pedro Manzanares. An unnecessary self made goal, 1-0 in the 5th minute. The supporters of Colombia booed when MasterBets was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 13 match minutes in a wonderful position. Constantin Costăchescu didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Marius Macovei had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Pedro Manzanares took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Marius Macovei, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience was convinced that Marius Macovei's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Pedro Manzanares was relentless in the 18th minute of the game. A collision led to MasterBets getting a freekick after 21 minutes play. Tony Röd hit a great ball. The throw-in from Luis Cazalla in the 24th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by MasterBets's Constantin Costăchescu. Gigel Zăvoiu showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Abram Sarmiento, who was totally free with the ball in the 27th minute. In the 31st minute Abram Sarmiento shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gigel Zăvoiu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Pedro Manzanares made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Marius Macovei in the 35th minute of play. In the 36th minute Abram Sarmiento shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gigel Zăvoiu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 39th minute of the game Dan Zafiu made a throw-in which Constantin Costăchescu played forward. 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 1-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Abram Sarmiento was the one to do the kick off. Gigel Zăvoiu made an important save on a dangerous shot by Santino Seco in the 53rd minute. Colombia's attentive Antonio Indiano managed to snatch the ball when Dan Zafiu made a throw-in in the 56th minute of the game. After a rather tough play, Colombia's Abram Sarmiento got a free kick in the 58th minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Axel Montenegro got free with Gigel Zăvoiu in the 62nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. A hard shot 68 in the game by Axel Montenegro from a close distance when the talented Gigel Zăvoiu managed to make a qualified save. MasterBets's players were relieved. Marius Macovei took the ball and in the 71 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Pedro Manzanares. Pedro Manzanares dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-0. Colombia made a substitution. Abram Secada replaced Axel Montenegro. In the 77th minute of the match, Ignacio Mastache tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Gigel Zăvoiu saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. If Gong Zhi Peng had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 78 minutes into the match, Colombia's goal looked a bit too open when Gong Zhi Peng came free, but Pedro Manzanares reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 95 played minutes, MasterBets's Tony Röd shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Pedro Manzanares came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in MasterBets reached it. Abram Secada's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Gigel Zăvoiu firmly grabbed it by the left post.
