Lounès Cohen-Tannoudji ran back to his position shaking his head. 87 minutes into the match, Citrus Heights FC's goal looked a bit too open when Lounès Cohen-Tannoudji came free, but Boughera Meriem reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After 96 played minutes, Citrus Heights FC's Mohammad Kaci Ali shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Anthar Ghozali came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Citrus Heights FC reached it. Muscoy were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
