Roch Marosz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Dominik Domaracki in the 25th minute of play forced Venezuela's goalkeeper Jonathan Ferrant to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 28 minutes into the match, Venezuela's goal looked a bit too open when Dominik Domaracki came free, but Jonathan Ferrant reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Dominik Domaracki took the ball and in the 46 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Jonathan Ferrant. Jonathan Ferrant 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.
