When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and 孔荣峰 made a kick off. 59 minutes into the game, Mateo Piearres was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Ranchillo FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Golondrinas the free kick. Mateo Piearres struck a weak shot in the 62nd minute. Mao Liang Ming didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ranchillo FC. Victorio Tercero might have been able to make a better finish in the 64th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Feliciano Guillen. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Victorio Tercero ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 66th minute Victorio Tercero shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Feliciano Guillen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 74th minute, 孔荣峰 fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Mao Liang Ming, passed just outside the right post. Mao Liang Ming showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Apolo Maiorga, who was totally free with the ball in the 78th minute. If Victorio Tercero had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
