And Kangaroos also gave a chance to the away keeper to touch the ball few minutes later. Mikuš sent the ball to Moravec who took a cross shot which was bouncing however, keeper saved it.
Mosquera had another chance in 10th minute and the ball went just wide. At this time, the away captain was already substituted thanks to an injury. No chance came in next 15 minutes and supporters had not much to cheer about.
