Red Devils's supporters crossed their fingers, but Kazimierz Deyna was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 19 minutes into the match, Red Devils's goal looked a bit too open when Henk Veerman came free, but Braulio Gartxot reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
