When Philib Moran came up free with the goalie in the 61st minute, the FC Suiti fans jumped to their feet.

After some fancy dribbling in the 63rd minute, Kerrigan Colwell managed to get in a good position for a shot. Doolin's supporters rose to their feet, but Kerrigan Colwell was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ardán Ghee breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. In the 84th minute, Philib Moran ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Artuir Deans was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-0. After a rather tough play, Doolin's Cullan Murphy got a free kick in the 87th minute.
