*CLANG*
The ball smashed against the crossbar and flew out of play.
The Pacos de Ferreira player who took the shot could only put his hands on his head in agony and disbelief as he watched the ball fly out of play after being deflected out of play by the bar.
His teammates were also pained and disappointed that he hadn't managed to hit the target, thus not allowing them to get an equalizer, but the Porto players breathed sighs of relief after seeing the ball fly out of play.
It was only at this moment the Pacos de Ferreira team's tactic of soaking pressure was all so that they could strike back at them at the opportune moment and their plan had almost worked.
Rather, it was more apt to say that their plan did indeed work, but they were unlucky enough to be unable to convert and this was the only reason why the scores remained the same.
