After 66 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave N. van der Zwan a chance to increase the lead for E_TeAM, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 4. full-duplex's R. Cafarelli got the home crowd going when he finished off a left wing charge, reducing the away team's lead to 1 - 4. The E_TeAM players could smell victory in the air. G.
