Bernardino Gomez made a fantastic save in the 64th minute, when Natalio Bernal sent off a good shot on target. When Maximino Eduino fell near the penalty area in the 76th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Valhalla Time's protests and gave Maximino Eduino a yellow card for diving instead. In the 76th minute, Maximino Eduino hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 79th match minute, Zuberbühler FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Gustavo Cordaryal to maneuver through the defense.

After some careless play in the Zuberbühler FC defense, Maximino Eduino kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Cipriano Elazar. The Zuberbühler FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Cipriano Elazar should have stopped the shot.
