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

After 84 played minutes, Toa Toa 4EVER's Oswaldo de Sousa shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Quinton Pais came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Toa Toa 4EVER reached it. 85 minutes into the match, Oswaldo de Sousa had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Quinton Pais.
