The corner led to Noisiel's Diamantino Cabral getting away a dangerous shot that went just outside the goal.

Noisiel's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Diego Farges in the 77th minute.

The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Noisiel fans cheered their team off the field, for while Toutourouki f.c. had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
