That was one of the most intense matches I've ever been in.

1251 moved right behind behind 179 as 179 complete the hurdle. 1251 bumped behind 179 and accidentally hit 69 as 69 was completing a hurdle. Because 1251 brushed by 69 and caused 69 to be in a vulnerable position on the overpass, the penalty was assessed to 1251. 233 approached the clearing traffic and caught 69 as they fell on top of 233.
One can view this starting at
1:10.
Without penalties the score was Red Alliance 72, and Blue Alliance 84. 10 point penalty was give to blue, and thus the 72-74 game. The trackball placed on the overpass at the end of the game made the difference. A very close match indeed.
