Bizi Saludes ran back to his position shaking his head. Dimo Igov took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Betadur Medel, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

Ignacio Capdevila helped the player get up and apologised. After 94 played minutes Montevideo City Torque got a freekick which was hit by Ignacio Capdevila.

When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Montevideo City Torque had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
