When Henri-Xavier Verengen came up free with the goalie in the 10th minute, the Portus Ganda 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 Henri-Xavier Verengen couldn't finish the play. If Dave Drescher had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Roger Hoolemans kicked well hit freekick during the 44th minute of the match.
