The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! The home crowd roared its approval when G. Basarrate missed a chance to reduce the lead from a penalty for coratadores after 83 minutes. balompedica's counterattack was impressive and was only stopped by a shocking foul. Somehow, the referee's cards remained in his pocket - a terrible decision! M.
