Felipe Hernández showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Angel Alvarenga, who was totally free with the ball in the 94th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 95th minute, Augusto Ramirez managed to get in a good position for a shot. FC Emeizer's supporters rose to their feet, but Augusto Ramirez was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
