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

After some fancy dribbling in the 61st minute, Fábio Peres managed to get in a good position for a shot. Korokas's supporters rose to their feet, but Fábio Peres was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Horácio Cabral breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
