The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. German Jobo was the one to do the kick off.

Máximo Castaño showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from German Jobo, who was totally free with the ball in the 58th minute.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Dionisio Alfaro couldn't finish the play. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Húsares fans cheered their team off the field, for while Juventus FC had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
