The referee showed Aytuğ Aral the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In a very dangerous position, a player in Alijilán returns fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 7th minute. Penalty!

In the 46th minute, Peter Crouch left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The ZORZAL01 fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. After the first half ZORZAL01 were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Peter Crouch to strike the kick off in the second half. Victor Erauso made a fantastic save in the 52nd minute, when Peter Crouch sent off a good shot on target. In the 55th minute the ball was on its way in behind Alijilán returns's goalkeeper Victor Erauso, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Peter Crouch might have been able to make a better finish in the 59th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Victor Erauso. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Peter Crouch ran back to his position shaking his head. Peter Crouch's shot straight on target was not completely harmless.
