The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Pudes Rubiero was the one to do the kick off.

After 70 played minutes, BlackJack21's Mederi Jara shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Xamin Llanes came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in BlackJack21 reached it. Heriberto Seoane received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 74th minute.
