After the break, both teams made more changes and the goals came. FCSB struck first, in the 68th minute. After an effective pass by Tavi Popescu, Thiam he was left alone on the edge of the box and shot perfectly diagonally.

But the advantage only lasted two minutes. A deep pass surprised the red-blue defense, and the Turks went into a two-on-two attack. And Jota Silva fulfilled a simple formality, after a generic pass that left him alone with Zima. The final score was established in the 75th minute by Sazdagi. He received a ball on the edge of the box, between Pantea and Dawa and shot perfectly to the long corner.
