DARAS's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave BINGO FUEL the free kick. Kuzman Bondzhov hit a great freekick 93 minutes into the match. The BINGO FUEL supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching DARAS's performance. The match ended with a win for DARAS.
