Cyryl Kochniarczyk was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. When Mikolaj Pietrasz fell near the penalty area in the 63rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored SuRpRiSe's protests and gave Mikolaj Pietrasz a yellow card for diving instead. Arrecifes's Modesto Mikolas was substituted for Raul Eduino. 62 minutes into the game, one of SuRpRiSe:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. In the 73rd minute the ball was on its way in behind SuRpRiSe's goalkeeper Cyryl Kochniarczyk, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After some careless play in the SuRpRiSe defense, Cayetano Gonsalve kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Cyryl Kochniarczyk. The SuRpRiSe fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Cyryl Kochniarczyk should have stopped the shot. Cayetano Gonsalve received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 87th minute. Cyryl Kochniarczyk tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Modesto Mikolas struck a weak shot in the 93rd minute. Cyryl Kochniarczyk didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Arrecifes. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Arrecifes fans cheered their team off the field, for while SuRpRiSe had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
