After some fancy dribbling in the 70th minute, Juan Aguirrez managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ringwood's supporters rose to their feet, but Juan Aguirrez was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Josue Sifon breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 77 minutes into the game, Zelvin Umanzor was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

Hector Pérez fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 86th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Josue Sifon having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Ringwood's zone, Mario Arellano stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Agustin Tobar came out of the goal and Mario Arellano tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 93 minutes of play, Exeter City's Carmelo Barrera made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Agustin Tobar was left in no man's land by his defense there! After a rather tough play, Exeter City's Salvador Parada got a free kick in the 96th minute.
