Andriy Lunin didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Panama. An unexpectedly hard shot by Isidoro Sarmiento in the 19th minute of play forced KOO Tigers's goalkeeper Andriy Lunin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 36 minutes into the match, Panama's goal looked a bit too open when Ertan Dural came free, but Marcos Cotilla reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 38th minute Ertan Dural shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Marcos Cotilla saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Panama's Marcos Cotilla proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 41st minute of the match, managed to save Panama from getting a goal against them.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Ertan Dural to strike the kick off in the second half. The corner led Panama's Abraham Alguacil to fire away a dangerous shot which Andriy Lunin despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Abraham Alguacil received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 58th minute. Andriy Lunin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Isidoro Sarmiento fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 61st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Andriy Lunin having to interfere. After 62 minutes, Arın Ferhat Alpman mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the KOO Tigers and the Panama players grew even worse after the yellow card.
