Grimm came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 22 minutes. BangHak were now up 0 - 3. The players of BangHak now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. S. Biazzi didn't let the weather get him down and made some great moves on the pitch in spite of the rain. 34 minutes had been played and the home team was awarded a penalty. The guests' keeper dived the right way, but G. Dainese was still able to reduce the score to 1 - 3. 1 - 3 was the halftime score.

Núñez was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 70 minutes. B. Çokgüven was given a chance to change things around. With 72 minutes played, BangHak put themselves up 1 - 5 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was S. Biazzi. With a penalty awarded after 78 minutes, SFC's G.
