It all happened in the 71st minute of the match. At this moment in the fixture, Awajun was awarded a corner kick. Cantorcillo goalkeeper Lucho Ruiz was down with an injury which forced the match to stop for some time as Sebastian Munoz waited near the flag for the football action to begin again after the injury break.

The incident was captured on camera.
