Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Tomas Illescas to make the kick off. Olavi Liib was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Tomas Illescas showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 0-3 in the 51 minute of play. The audience was convinced that Ernest Quesnel's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Jonathan Ferrant was relentless in the 57th minute of the game. If Tomas Illescas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
