Dalkurd also made substitutions, with Kevin Rodeblad Lowe and Ezequiel Montagna coming in for Oskar Alvers and Tiago Silva Sanchez.

Since Nordic United FC was one player short and Dalkurd led 1-0, Nordic United FC continued to try to break down Dalkurd's defense. However, in the 90th minute, Kgotso Masangane received a warning, and three minutes later both Mamadouba Diaby and Ezequiel Montagna were cautioned. While Nordic United FC's supporters cheered on the team, they lost hope when Mamadouba Diaby also received a second yellow card and was sent off.
