Johannes Kristiansson was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Hilario Juvenal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 6th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 10th minute Pål Klintæus shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fidel Barrionuevo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Rafael Guifre fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 16th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Johannes Kristiansson having to interfere. Hilario Juvenal recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 18th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Hilario Juvenal in the 22nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Johannes Kristiansson saved BENA FK from getting behind.
