Gone Down the Tunnel

Easy — logic-grid deduction puzzle

After a knockout match, the only list of the goals by Benedikt, Cristobal, Lachlan and Oswaldo blew down the tunnel.

Four goals settled a knockout match, one each from Benedikt, Cristobal, Lachlan and Oswaldo. They came in minutes 12, 35, 61 and 88, and nobody else scored, so the very next goal after any goal is simply the next one on the list. Each goal went in a different way, and each scorer wore boots of a different color. Someone wrote it all down by hand, but after the final whistle a gust of wind blew the only list down the tunnel before anyone could copy it. Can you write it out again?

Clues

1. One of Lachlan and Benedikt scored in minute 12, and the other scored in minute 35.
2. Cristobal scored later than both Lachlan and Oswaldo.
3. Benedikt scored the header.
4. The penalty went in earlier than the header.
5. The free kick was the very next goal after the header.
6. Only one of these was true: Lachlan wore the pink boots, or Oswaldo wore the orange boots.
7. Whoever scored the volley was wearing the orange boots.
8. Either Benedikt wore the silver boots or Oswaldo wore the pink boots, but not both.
