Subotic put Gabala one ahead again just two minutes after the restart. He was quick capitalizing on the lost ball after a kick by Ozobic. Then Rafael Santos’s goal was cancelled.

The visiting side kept the hosts unther sustained period of pressure and failed into another foul against Gabala led to penalty.
