In the 55th minute Isaac Qwinton shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Leonel Manuelo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 55 minutes, Narciso Bladi mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the NOMBRE OFENSIVO and the Rucachoroi AFC players grew even worse after the yellow card.

Isaac Qwinton scored 1-1 in the 85th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Leonel Manuelo, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
