Ninjas FK made a substitution. Jorden Blomme replaced Ingemar Kaxe. The supporters of England booed when Ninjas FK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 67 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hugo Björck didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Ninjas FK's zone, Micah Macdonald stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

Linus Vennerlund was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. There was no doubt that England were the better team. England's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
