In the second half, the boys maintained the intensity in the game and at 51′ Randy Ramírez converted a great pass from Andrey Salmerón to make it 3-1 on the scoreboard.
Three minutes later, Turrialba discounted with a goal by Estiven Ramos, but Consultants reacted and increased the account again after a recovery by Salmerón. The “10” passed the ball to Moreno who easily defined and made it 4-1.
