54 minutes into the game a free kick by A. Titus found its way through the home side's poorly assembled defensive formation, making Nutwood's lead 0 - 4. The coach of Nutwood was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 61 minutes, A. Nagy came on for T. Doległo. D. Bevan left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 61 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. B. Adams was the replacement. A. Nagy dispatched a majestic long shot 65 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, K. Amanzholov got himself booked. The manager of Constantine was not happy. With 72 minutes played, T. Meimaris nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. The corner kick from A. Titus was powerfully met by the head of A. Nagy to make the score 0 - 5. The home keeper was stunned 78 minutes into the match when he misjudged the free kick by A. Titus and dived in the wrong direction. The visitors increased the lead to 0 - 6. The home crowd cheered when, after 79 minutes, G.

Milner after 80 minutes. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Nutwood, with 56 percent of the ball.
