The referee looked at his watch once more and blew his whistle, signalling the end of the match.
90 minutes had decided nothing between two evenly-matched sides and the 30 minutes of extra time saw nobody break the deadlock either.
For those in the stadium it had been 120 of the most boring minutes they'd ever witnessed.
It would be settled by a shootout.
The teams assembled in the centre circle as the referee approached them.
He pulled a pistol from the waistband of his shorts and began to shoot the players to rapturous applause from the terraces.
