An unexpectedly hard shot by Emiliano Talone in the 70th minute of play forced Re Loco's goalkeeper Arne Rusterholz to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 73rd minute, Celso Lalla managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Re Loco's Celso Lalla got a good chance for a goal in the 76th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 78th minute, Celso Lalla left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net.

Arne Rusterholz came out and tried to block the shot, but Emiliano Talone slotted it home off the left post making it 6-1 in the 88th minute.

Re Loco's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
