52 minutes into the match, Valerian Hinz had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Uriel Jerrald. Santa Margarita's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Valerian Hinz was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-4. 54 minutes into the match, FC Wallersdorf's goal looked a bit too open when Laureano Eztebe came free, but Ludwig Schneller reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Robustiano Lizardi came up free with the goalie in the 56th minute, the Santa Margarita fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Robustiano Lizardi couldn't finish the play.

With a little luck, FC Wallersdorf's Ludwig Schneller got control of the ball when Laureano Eztebe tried to sneak it across the goal line. If Aldo Gilen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Joe Gomez fell near the penalty area in the 84th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored FC Wallersdorf's protests and gave Joe Gomez a yellow card for diving instead. Joe Gomez hit a great freekick 84 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 85th minute, Eriberto Thomas managed to get in a good position for a shot.
