Hernández was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 26 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! The visiting T. Kleeanger was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 29 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. 30 minutes into the match, the speedy G.

Hernández 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 - 6. The wictoria fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. G. Hotea received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 81 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score.

Veffer ran onto a beautiful ball played through the visitors' defence and slotted it past the keeper to reduce the deficit. 1 - 6. With 83 minutes played, M. Hernández of wictoria fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving.
