After the break, one of the first attacks of the hosts brought them success. After playing the ball from their own goal, the white and greens quickly took it to the penalty area of ​​KuPS, and Till scored his second goal in a two-match confrontation from Stepanyuk's pass.

But, as in the first match, the Finnish team equalized in the last minutes of regular time.
