Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Superfigu's Y. De Mol was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 46 minutes. R. Pérez García was given a chance to change things around. With 46 minutes played, the Superfigu coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. L. Neagu came on, J. Goujat had to leave the fray. The Superfigu captaincy was handed to H. Abraira. After 46 minutes, Superfigu switched S. Dveilys with Ó. Pretel Marín, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. 56 minutes into the match, Superfigu's Z. Banjević maneuvered his way around the opposition on the left flank, delighting the crowd with his twists and turns. The effort paid off as the ball found the back of the net, evening the score at 1 - 1. Superfigu took the lead after 64 minutes as a result of L. Neagu's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 2 - 1. After 75 minutes, the defensive line of Superfigu created a counterattack through the middle that gave H. Abraira a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by tahel, with 53 percent of the ball.

L. Neagu performed admirably for Superfigu. Ó. Pretel Marín was a disappointment, however. Most important tahel player was P. da Pozzo. On the other hand, F. Šokolskis's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 1.
