And in three minutes, the opponent took advantage of a turnover in the centre of the field, Fiogbe passed to Camara – 0-1. In the middle of the half, Tsukanov entered the opponent’s penalty area and assisted Smetana, whose shot after a scoop turn was blocked. Later, the teams exchanged sharp set pieces: Bahlai saved the shot by the captain of the visiting team Riccio, and Smetana kicked the ball next to the post. Lomaha was close to success when he pressed the defender, but the deflection turned out to be in favour of the opponent. In the last minute of the half, the visiting team took advantage of the set piece, and Fiogbe added a goal to the assist – 0-2.
