In the 24th minute Rapid managed to score a second goal. Ilioski used the miscommunication in Ludogorets‘s defense and scored for 0:2. In the first part‘s last seconds Ludogorets managed to score one back. Junior Quixada got free from Rapid‘s defender and scored with his left foot whitout giving Petersen a chance.

Throughout the second half time Ludogorets dominated entirely, while the strikers kept missing one after the other in spite of the many chances of Quixada, Alexandrov and Guela. „The eagles“ finally made a draw three minutes before the last referee signal of Ahmed Ahmed. Franck Guela received the ball on the penalty box line and his precise shot ended up into the net for the final score 2:2.
