Joel Rafe was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. When Pablo Musko fell near the penalty area in the 10th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.

If Astor Tab had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Genaro Manuelo struck a weak shot in the 80th minute. Joel Rafe didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Miranda FC. Genaro Manuelos short, quick shot in the 83rdth minute got Joel Rafe to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. When Benicio Reynardo came up free with the goalie in the 91st minute, the Miranda FC 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 Benicio Reynardo couldn't finish the play. With his leg Joel Rafe managed to avoid a goal in the 96thth minute, when Miranda FC's Benicio Reynardo fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. The Hansen AFC fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Miranda FC were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
