But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Claudio Pari couldn't finish the play. Alex Travaglini made a fantastic save in the 90th minute, when Armando Sansoni sent off a good shot on target. Fabio Egger might have been able to make a better finish in the 96th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Aldo Presutti. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Fabio Egger ran back to his position shaking his head. Pietra Marazzi AFC's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
