Paulo Román blasted a shot towards the goal in the 25th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Dumitru Ciubuc having to make a save. Guido Salomon might have been able to make a better finish in the 25th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Dumitru Ciubuc. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out.

The crowd rose to their feet as Guido Salomon kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Dumitru Ciubuc. That made the score 1-0 in the 25 minute of play. The supporters of ＡＣＡＤＥＭＩＡ נυηєℓυ booed when Astros de México was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 35 match minutes in a wonderful position. Angulo Cabañero didn't get a good kick on the ball. Stefan Cãpraru's late challenge caught a Astros de México's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Stefan Cãpraru helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, ＡＣＡＤＥＭＩＡ נυηєℓυ's Stefan Cãpraru got a free kick in the 38th minute. Jose Ubarna sent away a hard shot on goal in the 39th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

But to his dismay, Emilian Cãldare quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. After 47 played minutes ＡＣＡＤＥＭＩＡ נυηєℓυ got a freekick which was hit by Lilian Tabãrã.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Guido Salomon made a kick off. Paulo Román scored 2-1 in the 51st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Dumitru Ciubuc, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 55th minute, Paulo Román left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Astros de México fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-1. Astros de México made a substitution. Joaquin Soter replaced Jose Ubarna.
