The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Lawrence Gonzi was the one to do the kick off. When 吕常志 came up free with the goalie in the 52nd minute, the 贵州省施秉县醒狮队 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 吕常志 couldn't finish the play. Keith DeGaetano's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but 严亮德 read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 54th minute of play. 严亮德 showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Mark Cuschieri in the 56th minute of the match. In the 60th minute, Lawrence Gonzi left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Templars FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. 69 minutes into the match, Templars FC's goal looked a bit too open when 吕常志 came free, but Nick Grech reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Mark Cuschieri had several of the 贵州省施秉县醒狮队's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 73 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 0-2 score and a disappointed 严亮德 as he didn't even see the shot coming. Templars FC made a substitution. Carlo Pisani replaced Neil Debono. After a defensive mix-up in 贵州省施秉县醒狮队's zone, Oliver Friggieri stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. 严亮德 came out of the goal and Oliver Friggieri tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After a rather tough play, 贵州省施秉县醒狮队's 蒋康振 got a free kick in the 85th minute. In the 86th minute of the match, Lawrence Gonzi got a very nice opportunity to score, but 严亮德 was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. In the 87th minute, 吕常志 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With an all-out effort, Templars FC's 严亮德 threw himself towards the right post 88 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Oliver Friggieri, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. 吕常志 hit a great freekick 90 minutes into the match. 95 minutes into the match, 贵州省施秉县醒狮队's 吕常志 sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Nick Grech narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The Templars FC players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
