After having played for 6 minutes, Pablo Sayvion managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ψ virgen Ψ's supporters crossed their fingers, but Pablo Sayvion was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Victorino Diaz made in the 11th minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by Paraguay's Jaime Pardo. If Pablo Sayvion had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
