Rastack had a chance to level the score as E. Iriso suddenly found himself free in the middle of the box with only the keeper to beat, but he misjudged the finish, and only managed to hit the bar. With the clock showing 56 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Bolzplatzheroes resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by J.

Dorrepaal. 80 minutes into the game, P. Carrola finished off a Bolzplatzheroes left wing counterattack, making the score 2 - 0.
