The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Vladislav Ryzhik was the one to do the kick off. Veniamin Gerasimov kicked well hit freekick during the 64th minute of the match. When Vladislav Ryzhik came up free with the goalie in the 76th minute, the Unica FC 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 Vladislav Ryzhik couldn't finish the play. The supporters of Kranji Crunchy booed when Unica FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 79 match minutes in a wonderful position. Vladislav Ryzhik didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 80 played minutes, Kranji Crunchy's Anton Al-Haddad shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Aleksandr Dobritskiy 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 Kranji Crunchy reached it. In the 84th minute, Armand Hadikusuma made a precise shot to the right of Aleksandr Dobritskiy.

Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
