Saverio Tuste sent away a hard shot on goal in the 59th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

After having played for 69 minutes, Erubiel Lugo managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Lengua de Lobo's supporters crossed their fingers, but Erubiel Lugo was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Rigoberto Rosario made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Eugenio Muc in the 73rd minute of play. Maximiliano Berdaitz thought of kicking away a contribution in front of goal but messed it up so badly that the ball went to the right of an astonished Rigoberto Rosario, a very annoying self made goal in the 74th minute which led to 1-3.

When ♫♫ OB®E®OS ♫♫'s Cayetano Saturnin, in the 90th minute, received a pass right in front of the net, it looked like a certain goal, but his shot went outside. A wasted opportunity for ♫♫ OB®E®OS ♫♫. Although ♫♫ OB®E®OS ♫♫ had been in control for most of the match, Lengua de Lobo still came away with the win.
