Bechem United appealed for a penalty in the 84th minute following a hand call into the opponent’s goal area, but referee Maxwell Hanson did nothing of that as he signaled for play to continue.
The game was almost headed for a draw until substitute Listowel Amankona changed history by scoring the winner of the match.
