Niceto Brais tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The Chau mz fans' excitement grew in the 61st match minute when Chau mz's Mauro Medardo looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-0 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Desiderio Sol took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ivan Giro, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
