The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Aureliano Socorro showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. After 92 played minutes, COSQUIN SFC's Ismael Nofre shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Amador Jakue came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in COSQUIN SFC reached it. When Emiliano Faro fell near the penalty area in the 93rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Leones FC's protests and gave Emiliano Faro a yellow card for diving instead. Leones FC were delighted with the way they had won the match. They had held their defensive line well and made the most of their chances, to claim a victory over COSQUIN SFC's much stronger midfield.
