          ...  But M_Okoye punches it away 
          ...  That's gone out for a goal kick 
          ...  It was clear to everyone that M_Okoye got a touch 
Min. 91 :(stp) N_Nartey beats K_Hause 
          ...  It looked like he pushed his marker 
          ...  "Play On!" Waves The Referee 
          ...  N_Nartey smashed the ball towards the bottom corner! 
          ...  M_Okoye saves it but to be fair he didn't have to move for that one
