Marcos Cotilla was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 11th minute of the game. One of Redbourn AFC:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Panama:s goal.

Tomas Berganza sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
