          ...  But Andrew punches it away 
          ...  That's gone out for a goal kick 
          ...  It was clear to everyone that Andrew got a touch 
Min. 94 :(mrs) R_Guerreiro finds his way through 
          ...  He bent his run well 
          ...  R_Guerreiro with only one thing on his mind! 
          ...  He hits the ball towards goal! 
          ...  Andrew guesses right
