When Freddy Manex fell near the penalty area in the 70th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.

When Fabricio Pacorro came up free with the goalie in the 91st minute, the Challacó AFC 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 Fabricio Pacorro couldn't finish the play. In the 94th minute, Fabricio Pacorro got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Batel FC succeeded in salvaging a draw, even though Challacó AFC had controlled the match.
