Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Daniel Zorita scored 0-1 in the 3rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Camilo Isauro, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. If Felix Montenegro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Juan Laffitte struck a weak shot in the 16th minute. Julio Vera didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for los nadies.

A collision led to los nadies getting a freekick after 23 minutes play. Cenan Ergüven hit a great ball.

In the 35th minute Agustín Saelices shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Camilo Isauro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Cristian Sancho fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 41st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Camilo Isauro having to interfere. Daniel Zorita received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 48th minute. Camilo Isauro tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-2.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Daniel Zorita was the one to do the kick off. Daniel Zorita who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 53rdth minute tested the skills of Camilo Isauro when he managed to save the team from getting behind. When Luis Andino came up free with the goalie in the 55th minute, the Ecuador fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Luis Andino couldn't finish the play. 56 minutes into the match, los nadies's goal looked a bit too open when Agustín Saelices came free, but Camilo Isauro reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

When los nadies's Amadeo Martxel in the 79th minute got a chance for a shot 79th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Ecuador's goalie prevented a goal. From close distance Daniel Zorita pressed in the 0-3 goal high up into nets stiches in the right cross 84 minutes into the game. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Amadeo Martxel in the 87th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Julio Vera saved Ecuador from getting behind.
