Gabi.Futbol.Club's Timoteo Sabin played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Claus Kammergruber in the 78th minute of play. 79 minutes into the match, Gabi.Futbol.Club's goal looked a bit too open when Claus Kammergruber came free, but Timoteo Sabin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Ilie Marin came up free with the goalie in the 80th minute, the Gabi.Futbol.Club 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 Ilie Marin couldn't finish the play. In the 83rd minute Ilie Marin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bernardo Papo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Timoteo Sabin didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Jairo Lorien went, in the 85th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-0 was the resulting score.
