In the second half, the match remained evenly matched and intense. Yxhults IK was among the more skilled teams, but Nora BK had opportunities to level the play. Yxhults player Albin Andersson received a yellow card in the 73rd minute, shortly before Hamza Jasarevic replaced Edvin Cimirotic.

Nora BK made a substitution, bringing on Zebastian Pettersson for Halil Turan to add more offensive power. Jiress Mpeka received a yellow card in the 84th minute and was replaced by Matin Kayaci. Yxhults IK also made a substitution, with Dawda Camara taking Gabriel Pettersson's place.

Nora BK did everything they could to get back into the match, but Yxhults IK played calmly and organized behind the ball. The match ended 0-1 in favor of Yxhults IK, with the advantageous goal from Gabriel Pettersson coming just four minutes into the game.
