When the match clock showed 83 minutes, the score became 4-0 when Lino Liher sped through Tamberia FC's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Marcial Theodore. Lino Liher might have been able to make a better finish in the 88th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Marcial Theodore. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Lino Liher ran back to his position shaking his head. Marcial Theodore showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Lino Liher in the 89th minute of the match. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Neanderthal fully deserved thier win.
