Segovia's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Adolfo Macedo 69 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 2-1. When Bernardo Pereira came up free with the goalie in the 80th minute, the Segovia 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 Bernardo Pereira couldn't finish the play.
