But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Francisco Boaventura couldn't finish the play. Elias Andrade recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 89th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Altino Marinho was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 95th minute. Apoel Frankfurt's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
