Moises Gomesano recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 71st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Americo Ourente had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
