When Koča Kafarov came up free with the goalie in the 37th minute, the DREAM TEAM WORLD fans jumped to their feet.

After a rather tough play, Atlético y Tiro Rqta's Alejandro Valverde got a free kick in the 44th minute. DREAM TEAM WORLD's Paulo Jon was substituted for Zachariasz Psotka. Disappointed in the 0-4 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Koča Kafarov to make the kick off. Koča Kafarov took the ball and in the 54 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Abelardo Berenguer. Abelardo Berenguer dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-5. A sloppy throw-in by Celso Etor in the 57th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by DREAM TEAM WORLD's Armando Nevada.
