Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Hadrian Felber to make the kick off. After having played for 51 minutes, Costel Unciuleanu managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tutor Militari's supporters crossed their fingers, but Costel Unciuleanu was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Robert Jităreanu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 52nd minute. Gero Streidt tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Hadrian Felber could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 56th minute of the match, but Jokūbas Gott made a huge save. The corner led FC WOUDOO's Christos Dehnke to fire away a dangerous shot which Jokūbas Gott despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. After some careless play in the FC WOUDOO defense, Costel Unciuleanu kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Gero Streidt. The FC WOUDOO fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Gero Streidt should have stopped the shot. An unexpectedly hard shot by Robert Jităreanu in the 69th minute of play forced FC WOUDOO's goalkeeper Gero Streidt to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Gero Streidt came out of the goal and Costel Unciuleanu tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 77 minutes, Bonifatius Hanta mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the FC WOUDOO and the Tutor Militari players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of FC WOUDOO booed when Tutor Militari was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 79 match minutes in a wonderful position. Martin Arseni didn't get a good kick on the ball.
