The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Toni Mauzer stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Croatia's Ilija Skugor played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Bayhan Sanak in the 51st minute of play. Ilija Skugor came out of the goal in the 52nd minute to try and stop a shot by CeNDeRe T.K.'s Celalettin Vehbi. But to his dismay, Celalettin Vehbi quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-1. 56 minutes into the match, Croatia's goal looked a bit too open when Bayhan Sanak came free, but Ilija Skugor reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Croatia's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Celalettin Vehbi was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 7-2. Mehmet Halis Ak took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Toni Mauzer, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. A nice corner shot did that Toni Mauzer got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Mehmet Halis Ak quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save.

After some careless play in the Croatia defense, Işık Songurhan kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Ilija Skugor. The Croatia fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Ilija Skugor should have stopped the shot. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. CeNDeRe T.K. fully deserved thier win.
