The corner led AFC FUSION's Jan Hop to fire away a dangerous shot which Raimond Lenk despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Lino Rios might have been able to make a better finish in the 44th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Raimond Lenk. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out.

Lino Rios struck a weak shot in the 56th minute. Raimond Lenk didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for AFC FUSION. Angelo Rolado might have been able to make a better finish in the 58th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Roberto Eztebe. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Angelo Rolado ran back to his position shaking his head. A collision led to Piratas FC getting a freekick after 62 minutes play. Roman Steven hit a great ball. If Lino Rios had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Roman Steven's late challenge caught a AFC FUSION's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Roman Steven helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of AFC FUSION booed when Piratas FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 69 match minutes in a wonderful position.

AFC FUSION's supporters rose to their feet, but Christoff Stocks was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Raimond Lenk breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 92 minutes into the match, Christoff Stocks had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Raimond Lenk. Piratas FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Christoff Stocks was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-5.
