Etancourt then tried his luck from distance with several shots that went wide. In the 20th minute, there was a long break due to the injury of the central referee, who was forced to leave the field. He is replaced by the assistant referee, and he is replaced by another referee present in the crowd. The match resumes after just over five minutes and continues with the same dynamic.

Isembart He hits him and crosses, the ball reaches his feet Seguinbo Who gets it back, but his shot is blocked and comes back Suleiman Toure Which sends it into the back of the net (1-0, 47′).
