Gunnurs had to make a substitution after 69 minutes. S. Pai limped off the field and was replaced by G. Newton. After 70 minutes R. José Liano made a speedy advance and dropped the ball to G. Almoyner who shuffled it past the keeper. The score was now 0 - 6. T.

José Liano from roadrage a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 77 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! G. Almoyner received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 80 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 8. The roadrage fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. 83 minutes in, roadrage's S. Morev received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. R. Buckingham was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so Gunnurs's L. Berkowitz had to come off the bench. roadrage had most of the ball, with 76 percent of possession.

Gunnurs's top performer was clearly K. Towers. G. Newton was a disappointment, however. roadrage's best player was T. Postl. On the other hand, V. Esteves's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 8.
