The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Miroslaw Cielencki was the one to do the kick off. Kryspin Puzio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 53rd minute. Rune Forsberg tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Miroslaw Cielencki who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 63rdth minute tested the skills of Rune Forsberg when he managed to save the team from getting behind.

Örtomta Legends's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Ulrik Fransson in the 83rd minute. When Niklas Lill got free in front of the goal in the 85th minute he wasn't very focused and chipped the ball just over the goal. Przemyslaw Lagiewniki was delighted since he was out of position and the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. Rune Forsberg made a fantastic save in the 94th minute, when Gilbert Fronczak sent off a good shot on target. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched CF Apaches eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
