in the center of the pitch to run through opposition defenders and
delivered a through pass towards Olvin who shot the ball straight at the
keeper.
In the 19th minute, Olvin put pressure on the opposition defense and the

Nim Ishering Bhutia caused trouble in the first half for SFA on the
right-wing as in the 21st minute, he cut inside to go past the defender
and attempted a shot on goal. The winger was denied a goal by the
goalpost and his rebound attempt went wide.

In the 67th minute, Caitano made a lob pass from SFA half towards Olvin
