Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Antal Valentin to strike the kick off in the second half. If Major Barna had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 54th minute.
