Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Kacper Figlewski took the kick off in the first half of the match. Eugeniusz Dropinski received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 4th minute. Marcos Cotilla tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Marcos Cotilla stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Witalis Kajder's shot from short distance in the 11th minute. Marcos Cotilla made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Witalis Kajder in the 18th minute of play. João Paulo Dos Santos stood somewhat misplaced when Tomas Berganza came free in front of goal and shot 1-0 to the left of him in the 20 minute. João Paulo Dos Santos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tomas Berganza, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 27th minute Panama were awarded a corner. Abraham Alguacil went to the cornerflag to take it. It was a well-played corner which Dylan Sarmiento managed to volley towards the net. Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. In the 36th minute of the game Jose Carita made a throw-in which Miguel Miralles played forward. After having played for 37 minutes, Alex Cambeiro managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Panama's supporters crossed their fingers, but Alex Cambeiro was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a defensive mix-up in Cracovianos Juniors's zone, Tomas Berganza stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. João Paulo Dos Santos came out of the goal and Tomas Berganza tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 45 minutes into the match, Cracovianos Juniors's goal looked a bit too open when Tomas Berganza came free, but João Paulo Dos Santos reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Tomas Berganza was the one to do the kick off. In the 55th match minute, Cracovianos Juniors was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Roland Wielkopolski to maneuver through the defense. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Isidoro Sarmiento in the 56th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg João Paulo Dos Santos saved Cracovianos Juniors from getting behind. João Paulo Dos Santos showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Tomas Berganza, who was totally free with the ball in the 57th minute. In the 62nd minute Isidoro Sarmiento shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but João Paulo Dos Santos saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Kacper Figlewski had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Witalis Kajder could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 68th minute of the match, but Marcos Cotilla made a huge save. After 74 played minutes Panama got a freekick which was hit by Matthew Garrido. After 80 minutes, Witalis Kajder mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Cracovianos Juniors and the Panama players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 80th match minute, Cracovianos Juniors was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Witalis Kajder to maneuver through the defense. 91 minutes into the match, Isidoro Sarmiento had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of João Paulo Dos Santos. Cracovianos Juniors's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Isidoro Sarmiento was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-0. When Panama's Tomas Berganza in the 96th minute got a chance for a shot 96th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Cracovianos Juniors's goalie prevented a goal. For all the effort they put into the match, the Cracovianos Juniors players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Panama.
