The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Nyangnyang Rungkat to strike the kick off in the second half. 51 minutes into the match, Locura Académica's goal looked a bit too open when Luis Iban came free, but Rafael Gilesindo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Bahía é Carnaval's Luis Iban in the 53rd minute got a chance for a shot 53rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Locura Académica's goalie prevented a goal. In the 59th minute Nyangnyang Rungkat shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fidel Estefan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Luis Iban might have been able to make a better finish in the 68th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Rafael Gilesindo. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Luis Iban ran back to his position shaking his head. Desiderio Demario sent away a hard shot on goal in the 69th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

After some careless play in the Locura Académica defense, Luis Iban kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Rafael Gilesindo.

Ceferino Miro hit a great ball. Dalmacio Quirce's late challenge caught a Bahía é Carnaval's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Dalmacio Quirce helped the player get up and apologised. Pastor Lano took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 89th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Rafael Gilesindo. Locura Académica's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. When Nyangnyang Rungkat came up free with the goalie in the 91st minute, the Locura Académica fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Nyangnyang Rungkat couldn't finish the play. After a defensive mix-up in Locura Académica's zone, Ceferino Miro stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rafael Gilesindo came out of the goal and Ceferino Miro tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
