Kollis made an incredible run up the middle and nearly reduced the home side's lead, but D. Parnaíba refused to let the ball slip by him. 89 minutes into the game, D. Parnaíba had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came J. Skars. Litrabols claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.
