With a little luck, Colombia's Pedro Manzanares got control of the ball when Gerasim Fedorov tried to sneak it across the goal line. After a rather tough play, AS TRIGGER's Tadeusz Zahemski got a free kick in the 8th minute. In the 9th minute Abram Sarmiento shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Veniamin Hvoinskiy saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Tadeusz Zahemski made in the 18th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Gerasim Fedorov immediately put the ball in play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Abram Sarmiento in the 20th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Veniamin Hvoinskiy saved AS TRIGGER from getting behind. Veniamin Hvoinskiy took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Axel Montenegro, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 25 minutes into the match, Axel Montenegro notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of AS TRIGGER's Veniamin Hvoinskiy. Veniamin Hvoinskiy was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After some careless play in the Colombia defense, Esteban Gentza kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Pedro Manzanares. The Colombia fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Pedro Manzanares should have stopped the shot. After having played for 33 minutes, Gerasim Fedorov managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. AS TRIGGER's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gerasim Fedorov was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Esteban Gentza sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Gerasim Fedorov blasted a shot towards the goal in the 40th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Pedro Manzanares having to make a save. Gerasim Fedorov fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 45th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Pedro Manzanares having to interfere. The score stood at 2-2 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

In the 56th match minute, Colombia was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Antonio Indiano to maneuver through the defense. Esteban Gentza fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Pedro Manzanares having to interfere. If Pascual Carballar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Colombia made a substitution. Abram Secada replaced Axel Montenegro. Tadeusz Zahemski made in the 72nd minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by Colombia's Joshua Garrido. Joshua Garrido's late challenge caught a AS TRIGGER's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Joshua Garrido helped the player get up and apologised. AS TRIGGER made a substitution. Pavel Vinogradov replaced Stepan Scherbatov. After a rather tough play, Colombia's Joshua Garrido got a free kick in the 73rd minute. Colombia's Pedro Manzanares played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Esteban Gentza in the 76th minute of play. Esteban Gentza scored 3-2 in the 77th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Pedro Manzanares, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Pedro Manzanares showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Esteban Gentza, who was totally free with the ball in the 84th minute. Esteban Gentza might have been able to make a better finish in the 86th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Pedro Manzanares. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Esteban Gentza ran back to his position shaking his head. Veniamin Hvoinskiy showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ignacio Mastache in the 89th minute of the match. Gerasim Fedorov received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 92nd minute. Pedro Manzanares tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Pedro Manzanares made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gerasim Fedorov in the 96th minute of play. AS TRIGGER's supporters were delighted with their team's performance and swarmed onto the pitch at the end of the match to celebrate the victory with the players.
