When Cason Bell came up free with the goalie in the 10th minute, the Baileys Crossroads 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 Cason Bell couldn't finish the play. 11 minutes into the match, Buena FC's goal looked a bit too open when Alfredo Madison came free, but Nathan Ferguson reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

If Ethan Leary had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The supporters of Buena FC booed when Baileys Crossroads was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 71 match minutes in a wonderful position. Chuck Harrison didn't get a good kick on the ball.
