Melquiades Mambru came out and tried to block the shot, but Issac Dawson slotted it home off the left post making it 2-1 in the 66th minute.

Khalid Kennedy made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Carel Rokeloos in the 79th minute of play. After 80 minutes England's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Ambrosio Estevez who took care of the corner kick. The corner went over the outstretched arms of England's goalie and right to Anastasio Lluques. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. England's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. MORPH's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
