Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Grigoris Charalambidis to make the kick off. After a rather tough play, Bastion Juźkowa's Hieronim Boruta got a free kick in the 52nd minute. Joel Gaona, 53 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal.

In the 59th minute, Joel Gaona ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Grzegorz Duszenski was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-2. Mexico's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Joel Gaona in the 63rd minute.

Bastion Juźkowa's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. Hugon Gongola's late challenge caught a Mexico's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.
