When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Black Cold made a kick off. If Black Cold had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 60th match minute, Ninjas FK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jorden Blomme to maneuver through the defense.
