He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Parvadomus FC reached it. After 17 minutes of play Tumbaya FC's Teofilo Marz was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground.

After some fancy dribbling in the 51st minute, Eustaquio Mateus managed to get in a good position for a shot. Parvadomus FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Eustaquio Mateus was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.
