Godofredo Koldo ran back to his position shaking his head. With a little luck, Tacanas AFC's Arnoldo Pacho got control of the ball when Martin Gutierrez tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 35th minute, Melchor Palben 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.

A hard shot 40 in the game by Martin Gutierrez from a close distance when the talented Arnoldo Pacho managed to make a qualified save. Tacanas AFC's players were relieved.
