The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 7-0 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. The supporters of Spartans FC booed when Lagrima en Jarrita was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 90 match minutes in a wonderful position. Jonas Merexildo didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Fabio Gerbella had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 93rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. For all the effort they put into the match, the Lagrima en Jarrita players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Spartans FC.
