My brother's soccer final

The best two teams of the league were at the final match. A few minutes after the match started, my brother's team made ("scored" would be more common here) a goal and all was happiness everyone was happy, till one of the best players of the team where which/that my brother plays for, broke his arm. All were Everyone was scared but he and his mom went to the hospital and the game had to continue.
The guy who broke his arm was the fastest of the team, -por lo que- (I don't know how to translate it) the other team some times was near to make the tie goal. (sorry I don't know what you are trying to say here so cannot help with the translation of "por lo que")
Still in the second half, almost to finish the match, the other team could make (this can be changed to "had to make" or "made" depending on the context) the goal and they went to penalties.
My brother's team penalties were: ✔️✖️✖️✖️✔️
Other team's penalties: ✔️✔️✖️✖️✔️
And finally the other team won the match, we were so nervous. That game had of all.

(What another way can I say "the other team"? I felt I repeat it a lot.)
