He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. CF Apaches's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. The CF Apaches fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. StraX Xenon FC were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
