With an all-out effort, Aerolineas Argentinas FC's Qin Fan Sheng threw himself towards the right post 7 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Sebastián Erasto, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Sebastián Erasto scored 1-0 in the 7th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Qin Fan Sheng, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 10 minutes had been played when some careless play by ZORZAL01's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner.

In the 37th minute Peter Crouch shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Anfilogino Tolin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Bertil Lindsten fell near the penalty area in the 42nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.

If Horacio Librado had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 88th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Aerolineas Argentinas FC fans cheered their team off the field, for while ZORZAL01 had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
