Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Abram Sarmiento made the kick off which started today's match. Vł₦ɆłⱤØ ₣₵'s Tomas Marko quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Joshua Garrido, made in the 3rd minute of the game. With an all-out effort, Colombia's Blas Colas threw himself towards the right post 13 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Abram Sarmiento, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Blas Colas took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Abram Sarmiento, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Santino Seco in the 17th minute of play forced Vł₦ɆłⱤØ ₣₵'s goalkeeper Blas Colas to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Axel Montenegro received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Blas Colas came out and tried to block the shot, but Axel Montenegro slotted it home off the left post making it 1-1 in the 18th minute. 26 minutes into the game, Leonardo Dominic threw the ball into play from the sideline. Colombia's Antonio Indiano quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. Blas Colas took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Kevin Mastache, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 31 minutes of play, Vł₦ɆłⱤØ ₣₵'s Dendi Ishutin made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Pedro Manzanares was left in no man's land by his defense there! Colombia's Antonio Indiano managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Sebastian Gonzales in the 35 minute of the game. After some careless play in the Vł₦ɆłⱤØ ₣₵ defense, Abram Sarmiento kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Blas Colas. The Vł₦ɆłⱤØ ₣₵ fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Blas Colas should have stopped the shot. Uriel Cayo kicked well hit freekick during the 43rd minute of the match. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Dendi Ishutin to make the kick off. Blas Colas made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Abram Sarmiento in the 54th minute of play. 55 minutes into the match, Vł₦ɆłⱤØ ₣₵'s Dendi Ishutin sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Pedro Manzanares narrowly saved just below the crossbar. With a little luck, Colombia's Pedro Manzanares got control of the ball when Dendi Ishutin tried to sneak it across the goal line. Blas Colas showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Axel Montenegro, who was totally free with the ball in the 59th minute. Leonardo Dominic's late challenge caught a Colombia's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Leonardo Dominic helped the player get up and apologised. After 62 played minutes Vł₦ɆłⱤØ ₣₵ got a freekick which was hit by Leonardo Dominic. Vł₦ɆłⱤØ ₣₵'s Baldomero Perrando was substituted for Sebastian Gonzales. In the 63rd minute, Leonardo Dominic hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

With a little luck, Colombia's Pedro Manzanares got control of the ball when Baldomero Perrando tried to sneak it across the goal line.

But to his dismay, Luis Cazalla quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-2. Dendi Ishutin struck a weak shot in the 80th minute. Pedro Manzanares didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Vł₦ɆłⱤØ ₣₵. Blas Colas made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Abram Secada in the 82nd minute of play. 83 minutes had been played when some careless play by Vł₦ɆłⱤØ ₣₵'s defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Kevin Mastache was slow to take the kick. During this time Colombia's players had a chance to rest. The corner led Colombia's Kevin Mastache to fire away a dangerous shot which Blas Colas despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Roberto Cerilo thought of kicking away a contribution in front of goal but messed it up so badly that the ball went to the right of an astonished Blas Colas, a very annoying self made goal in the 84th minute which led to 4-2. Pedro Manzanares showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Dendi Ishutin in the 87th minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Pascual Carballar in the 93rd minute of play forced Vł₦ɆłⱤØ ₣₵'s goalkeeper Blas Colas to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. For all the effort they put into the match, the Vł₦ɆłⱤØ ₣₵ players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Colombia.
