Spectators: 50 (Terracing: 38, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 1) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Mincho Robledo took the kick off in the first half of the match. THE CLUB were awarded a corner in the 7th minute after Colombia's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Carmine Mancinelli took the corner. THE CLUB's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Carmine Mancinelli in the 8th minute. Renatinho Severo was in a good position and managed to take a shot, but he missed just to the outside of the post. Preslav Famparski had several of the Colombia's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 11 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Pedro Manzanares as he didn't even see the shot coming. Guo Ling Nan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Axel Montenegro in the 14th minute of play. Pedro Manzanares made a fantastic save in the 19th minute, when Mincho Robledo sent off a good shot on target.

In the 37thth minute of the game Abram Sarmiento who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but THE CLUB's Guo Ling Nan was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball.

Colombia's Santino Seco got a good chance for a goal in the 51st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.
