If Alexandro Gattuso had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Many of Navalito's supporters were seen to leave the ground early as it became clear their team was going to lose. Navalito may have spent more time on the ball, but Valhalla F.C. were more willing to take their chances and they walked away with the win.
