Retamero's men kept up the pressure, but Acosta and Fernandez were brilliant at the back to ward off any danger created by Subash and Yusa. Just before the half-time whistle, Katsumi Yusa fell on the ground and had to be taken on a stretcher. He could not participate in the match anymore.
East Bengal was inflicted a penalty just after the restart of the game while Denechandram cut Danmawia just inside the penalty bench. Esqueda approached to take the kick and, although Boerchio had guessed the right way, he could not put his hand on it, as he was struck with power and precision.
