Kalle Backman breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The DONPATO fans' excitement grew in the 90th match minute when DONPATO's Ali Emir Ünver looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 4-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Koffe Boys's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
