Sirens dominated the match and managed to create a numer of chances. However, they had to wait till the 70th minute to break the deadlock.

Sow Seydou denied Flavio Cheveresan by handling the ball on the goal line. The referee noticed the infringement and pointed for a penalty. In addition to this, Sow was also given his matching orders. The Brazilian himself took charge of the spot kick and converted.
