As the game started to slip away for cuyabros, the manager decided to change the tactical approach. The cuyabros players listened closely to their manager, as he gave new tactical instructions for the team. Ater 65 minutes R. Stenvall seized on an opportunistic attack from the right, and scored for cuyabros making it 4 - 1. Always quick and a menace to his opponents, A. Bruheim was very close to getting through after 73 minutes, but he could only put the ball into the keeper's arms. T. Harrak increased the lead for CALIDOSOS to 5 - 1, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! This third goal completed a hattrick for T. Harrak. CALIDOSOS put in a good effort on the right, but T.

T. Harrak performed admirably for CALIDOSOS. On the other hand, R. Olszaniecki's play was disheartening. cuyabros's best player was I. van Stralen. V. Sozontov was a disappointment, however. The match ends 5 - 1.
