Moreno alerted the national atmosphere and the fans when he received a blow to the skull from Norman Corbett after 71 minutes. The New Zealand striker ran after a ball that was poorly saved by the national goalkeeper and he beat him.
Jorge Moreno spent up to 6 minutes getting help on the green of the Único Madre de Ciudades stadium, and in 77 he was removed from the field on a stretcher, replaced by 17-year-old Fausto Delgado. Three minutes after changing goalkeepers, Corbett capitalized on an error by young goalkeeper and defender Mathias Gaydon to make it 1-0, giving New Zealand the win and executing Guatemala.
