In that minute, forward Charlyn Corral got into the box and sent in a cross, but defender Janelly Farías was unable to control the ball and ended up scoring an own goal, giving the Tuzas a 1-0 lead.
With the clock ticking down, the Azulcremas decided to go forward but this only left them more vulnerable to the Tuzas' attacks and in the 67th minute, Charlyn Corral received the ball just outside the opponent's box and fired a strong shot across the face of goal to make it 2-0 and 4-1 on aggregate.

In the 80th minute, the Azulcremas had a valuable opportunity to score when a penalty kick was awarded, but Katty Martinez, who was in charge of taking it, put the ball into the stands, wasting the opportunity.
