Time was up and the referee appeared to be adding time on for delaying tactics when for reasons known only .to himself he called a foul on Brian . Millar and gave a direct free l4icl on the 18 yard line. U�derkh Clinton lined up but was unable to stop the ball going through a maze of players into the net.
