Spectators: 192 (Terracing: 145, Seating: 44, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Christer Johnsson made the kick off which started today's match. Hernán Leandro spun around in front of the goal 6 minutes in the game, and got away a shot that, to his disappointment, went to the left of Shymkent Camels's goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hernán Leandro in the 8th minute of play forced Shymkent Camels's goalkeeper Horacio Zarricueta to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 10 minutes into the match, ACF Fiorentina's Hernán Leandro sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Horacio Zarricueta narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

A beautiful save bye Shymkent Camels's goalie prevented a goal. Hernán Leandro might have been able to make a better finish in the 15th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Horacio Zarricueta. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Hernán Leandro ran back to his position shaking his head. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hernán Leandro in the 15th minute of play forced Shymkent Camels's goalkeeper Horacio Zarricueta to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 22 minutes into the match, Christer Johnsson had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Federico Kalinowski. ACF Fiorentina's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Christer Johnsson was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. After 24 minutes of play, ACF Fiorentina's Hernán Leandro made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Horacio Zarricueta was left in no man's land by his defense there! Christer Johnsson scored 2-1 in the 30th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Federico Kalinowski, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Federico Kalinowski showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Christer Johnsson in the 36th minute of the match. 39 minutes into the match, Shymkent Camels's goal looked a bit too open when Hernán Leandro came free, but Horacio Zarricueta reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

In the 51st minute the ball was on its way in behind Shymkent Camels's goalkeeper Horacio Zarricueta, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 53 minutes had been played when some careless play by Shymkent Camels's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Gabriel Gaufred was slow to take the kick. During this time ACF Fiorentina's players had a chance to rest. ACF Fiorentina's Gabriel Gaufred was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Horacio Zarricueta in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. The attack was good, but when Saturnino Michael in the 53rd minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. After a rather tough play, Shymkent Camels's İlmi Murathan got a free kick in the 57th minute. Horacio Zarricueta showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Martin Vellito, who was totally free with the ball in the 63rd minute. 64 minutes into the match, Maximino Cabezon had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Horacio Zarricueta. Shymkent Camels's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Maximino Cabezon was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-2. When the match had gone on for 72 minutes, Long Feng put it in 2-3 from a short distance just to the right of Horacio Zarricueta. In the 86th minute Yakov Achuev shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Federico Kalinowski saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Maximino Cabezon came up free with the goalie in the 87th minute, the ACF Fiorentina fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Maximino Cabezon couldn't finish the play. If Maximino Cabezon had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Horacio Zarricueta took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Maximino Cabezon, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a rather tough play, ACF Fiorentina's Anselmo Luar got a free kick in the 94th minute.
