Deteşan made a successful breakthrough on the left after 41 minutes and should have levelled the score, but instead he clipped it over the bar. Given a free kick close to the byline, Antares tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let N.

Deteşan just couldn't get his shot past the visitors' right side defence after 84 minutes.
