In the second half, the first chance was created by the visitors. Nihato's shot flew over the crossbar. Then came a chance for "Barca". After a great pass, Cocu headed the ball, but unsuccessfully. Later, despite tricking several defenders, Ronaldinho failed to capitalize - his shot was saved by the goalkeeper.
At the end of the match, with the score still 0-0, the hosts, supported by a large crowd of fans, began to press the opponents.
