In the second half, the visitors started to play more actively and it immediately bore fruit. In the 56th minute of the match, the visitors' goalkeeper D.Mudjiri scored a great goal. After this goal, the visitors started to press even more, but they were unable to change the result. The hosts celebrated a 2-1 victory.
