The supporters of Chile booed when Fractal FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 92 match minutes in a wonderful position. Silvio Dayam didn't get a good kick on the ball. Many of Chile's supporters were seen to leave the ground early as it became clear their team was going to lose. Chile may have spent more time on the ball, but Fractal FC were more willing to take their chances and they walked away with the win.
