A collision led to Mazinkaisers getting a freekick after 37 minutes play. Bela Unzueta hit a great ball. Montrel Blanco might have been able to make a better finish in the 41st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Nando Escobar. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out.

First the ball seemed to get in, but turned out to be on the outside of the net. A great chance!
