54 minutes had been played when some careless play by Maurinho Team's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Oscar Artizar was slow to take the kick. During this time Raquel FC's players had a chance to rest. The corner led Raquel FC's Oscar Artizar to fire away a dangerous shot which Diego Fiz despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. In the 55th minute of the game, Genaro Laurentzi landed unfortunately after trying to head the ball, and pulled a muscle in the back, so badly that he had to leave the field. 55 minutes into the game, Silvestre Adrio was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Maurinho Team's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Raquel FC the free kick. The long shot by Oscar Artizar in the 57th minute really tested Diego Fiz's skills.
