The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Benedicto Calvon stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 56 minutes into the match, Nantes FC's goalkeeper Zunbeltz Tarulla had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Kinsen Alzedar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Benedicto Calvon in the 61st minute of play forced Tancipay's goalkeeper Guib Jubitero to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The supporters of Nantes FC booed when Tancipay was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 64 match minutes in a wonderful position. Llope Graniela didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 66 minutes, Cresitobalo Garrido mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Tancipay and the Nantes FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 69 minutes Tancipay's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Amado Sotilla who took care of the corner kick. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Tancipay's goalie and right to Lon Sabino. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Tancipay's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. After a rather tough play, Nantes FC's Gines Canaria got a free kick in the 74th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 81st minute, Uxio Bon managed to get in a good position for a shot. Nantes FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Uxio Bon was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Guib Jubitero breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 86th minute, Benedicto Calvon hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 89th minute Erubiel Freiria shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Zunbeltz Tarulla saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Erubiel Freiria sent away a hard shot on goal in the 91st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Zunbeltz Tarulla came out of the goal in the 96th minute to try and stop a shot by Tancipay's Erubiel Freiria. But to his dismay, Erubiel Freiria quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-3. The Tancipay supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Tancipay would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
