After 77 played minutes, Forest SC's Marcos Ciccaglione shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Devin Purvis 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 Forest SC reached it. The supporters of Forest SC booed when Bermuda Dunes FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 79 match minutes in a wonderful position. Tommy Byrne didn't get a good kick on the ball.
