Swift GTi's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Rodrigo Ferdinand was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-5. 97 minutes into the match, Swift GTi's goal looked a bit too open when Görkem Büyükada came free, but Daniel Fondos reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Görkem Büyükada sent away a hard shot on goal in the 98th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
