In the 63rd minute Jörn Hermansson shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tiago Somarriba saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ivan Billberg recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 65th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Tiago Somarriba showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jörn Hermansson, who was totally free with the ball in the 74th minute. ♠♥ Stardust Crusaders ♣♦'s Tiago Somarriba proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 82nd minute of the match, managed to save ♠♥ Stardust Crusaders ♣♦ from getting a goal against them.
