After 29 minutes of play, LRCA Office Club's Arnaldo Mota made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Jonathan Ferrant was left in no man's land by his defense there! 34 minutes into the match, Tomas Illescas had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Slawomir Czerwinski. LRCA Office Club's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Tomas Illescas was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. After 38 played minutes Venezuela got a freekick which was hit by Jonathan Venegas. In the 41st minute, Nuno Trigo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

Arnaldo Mota was the one to do the kick off. 55 minutes into the match, Mário Amaral notched a goal, 3-1, to the right of Venezuela's Jonathan Ferrant. Jonathan Ferrant was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Tomas Illescas recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 58th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. David Söderlund made in the 60th minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Mário Amaral however managed to control.
