A encounter which was laden with unfortunate incidents following an aggressive reaction from fans of Racing FC, who demanded a non-existent offside that the referee and his first assistant would not have seen, throwing stone, glass and plastic bottles at the opening of the score on the 32nd by the young resident of Grenadiers Ronaldo Damus in favor of the Real Hope Academy [1-0] provoking a first stoppage of play of 7 minutes... followed by a 3-minute restart before another 10-minute stoppage, where the fans gave way to a furious anger... after the referee Marcus Florestal, put an end prematurely to the first period, which again provoked the anger of the local fans obliging the police to make a strong intervention to regain control of the security of the match which finally ended in pain and especially in the anger of the Capois of Real Hope who were going to cash in the second period two goals of the Racing FC of Bendy Charles in the 70th [1-1] and to the 75th [2-1].

After the match clashes took place between supporters and the police had to make use of tear gas to disperse the angry of football and restore order.
