After having played for 35 minutes, Ronaldo Paraíba managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Mauk's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ronaldo Paraíba was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

Ronaldo Paraíba fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 79th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jacobo Nores having to interfere. Asko Põhjala made a great header on Mauk's corner, it was just that Paraguay's Jacobo Nores managed to reach the ball for a save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Taavi Mahlaoks in the 85th minute of play forced Paraguay's goalkeeper Jacobo Nores to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 87th match minute, Paraguay was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Hector Covarrubias to maneuver through the defense. If Hardo Talv had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Taavi Mahlaoks might have been able to make a better finish in the 94th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Jacobo Nores. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Taavi Mahlaoks ran back to his position shaking his head.
