The miners did not feel the contact, they kept up the rhythm and, shortly after, they restored equality. Benny, still outside the box and bent slightly to the left, shot low to make it 1-1.
Soon after the restart, specifically in the 50th minute, Guilherme Schettine, in the heart of the area, transferred the ball from the removal of Gustavo Galil and completed the odd look on the scoreboard.
