Jasper Morning sent away a hard shot on goal in the 20th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

In the 81st minute, Buster Browne hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Lino Santos, 82 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Chateaubriand's goalie and right to Rupert Chamberlain. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Chateaubriand's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. In the 87th minute, Rupert Chamberlain hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 90 minutes into the match, Marciano Quintin had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Sacha York. Watchet's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Marciano Quintin was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-3. Watchet's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
