LECHERA FENIX's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Bernardo Solminihac who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 44thth minute tested the skills of Ubaldo Matildo Aranibar when he managed to save the team from getting behind.

LECHERA FENIX's Gaitán Guesalaga was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Ubaldo Matildo Aranibar in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. The crowd rose to their feet as Quechupulli's Brian Sadin slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Burhan Okaner. That made the score 5-5 after 79 minutes of play. When Ermegildo Massuh came up free with the goalie in the 85th minute, the LECHERA FENIX 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 Ermegildo Massuh couldn't finish the play.
