In the 122nd minute of extra time with the match tied 5–5, Shewan scored an own goal, giving Los Angeles a 6–5 win and the title.

After leaving Aberdeen Shewan spent time in Australia then played for, and later managed, Elgin City, when they played in the Highland Football League. Shewan, described as a "no-nonsense left-back", is a member of Aberdeen Football Club's Hall of Fame, inducted in 2004.
