Amílton Loyola hit a great freekick 7 minutes into the match. Elpidio Francis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 10th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Patricio Ugutz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Elpidio Francis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience thought a goal was coming when Christian de Amorim got free with Branislav Velchevski in the 12th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After 15 played minutes ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA got a freekick which was hit by Bonifacio Suarez. 28 minutes into the match, Barcellos Mineiro FC's goal looked a bit too open when Elpidio Francis came free, but Patricio Ugutz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Elpidio Francis scored 0-1 in the 31st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Patricio Ugutz, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Dale Dolar might have been able to make a better finish in the 36th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Branislav Velchevski. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Dale Dolar ran back to his position shaking his head. Branislav Velchevski made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Dale Dolar in the 36th minute of play.

Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Dale Dolar stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. The audience was convinced that Dale Dolar's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Branislav Velchevski was relentless in the 57th minute of the game.

Branislav Velchevski was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The throw-in from Amílton Loyola in the 75th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's Mustafa Ali Cansoy. 77 minutes into the match, Barcellos Mineiro FC's Luisinho Uribe sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Branislav Velchevski narrowly saved just below the crossbar.
