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

Kanalla F.C's Joshua Kimmich managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Macos Graciani in the 75 minute of the game. Thanks to some nice moves Lautaro Mancebo could shoot a difficult shot in the 78th minute, which 高洲泉 however easily saved by the left post.
