The wards of Luisa Castro won the match with two unsuccessful 11 ​​meters.

Due to the situation with the coronavirus, the game was decided by UEFA in the empty stands. The Pitmen had the advantage in possession of the ball and opened the score fairly quickly. Brooks surprisingly failed after Ismaili's shot, and the ball hung in the air, which Moraes took advantage of, hitting his head. 0: 1.

In the first half, the referee twice in similar situations after watching a video replay using the VAR system appointed 11-meter - after hitting the ball in the hand first Arnold, and then Matvienko. But the representatives of both teams did not take the opportunity. Kovalenko scored lightly and allowed Castells to save, but Weghorst did not hit the plane.

At the beginning of the second half, Brooks rehabilitated, equalizing the score after a corner. But the last word was left to the miners. Marcos Antonio scored on the finish after Castells transferred the ball sent from the penalty spot by Alan Patrick.
