After the break Sannat produced some pressure over their opponents. In the 50^th minute Aktpan blocked in time an effort by Fernando de Andrade. The Saints replied with a free kick by Joe Xerri in the 59^th minute that was well saved by goalie Demis Bajada. Three minutes later Sannat’s Fernando de Andrade had a header from a free kick by Errol Grima that was deflected on the crossbar by goalie Aktpan. Qala opened the score in the 70^th minute. Manwel Cordina entered the area from the right and from his cross Dione Lautier headed in goal from close distance. The Lions lost composure and one minute later the same Lautier had a low shot from a through pass by substitute Charlie Attard that ended just wide. In the 73^rd minute Sannat’s goalie Demis Bajada was well placed to block a fine move by Andreas Fotso.

    In the 80^th minute the Lions went close to level the score. Substitute Sabri Rais deflected a free kick by Mario Cutajar, but goalie Aktpan saved a header by Fernando de Andrade and from the rebound Kenneth Mercieca’s attempt was blocked in corner. Qala lost a good opportunity to increase their lead in the 85^th minute when substitute Charlie Attard entered the area but concluded badly from a good position. The Lions saved the result in the 88^th minute. Mark Muscat entered the area from the right and from his low cross Fernando de Andrade placed into an empty goal from close distance. Sannat kept insisting and in the third minute of stoppage time Kenneth Mercieca was unlucky when his close ranged shot from a cross by Fernando de Andrade hit the post. However, Sannat turned the final result in their favour with a goal that arrived one minute later. Errol Grima’s cross from the left found substitute Sabri Rais at the right place and the latter concluded out of Aktpan’s reach with a spectacular header.
