The match recommenced after the fifteen minutes of halftime. The Rosenborg players immediately switched to a more versatile 4-3-3 formation and soon started passing the ball around steadily. They hoarded the majority of the possession as they searched for an opportunity to score their opening goal.

Eventually, the ball made its way to Zachary, who had just run into an unmarked pocket of space close to the center circle. He brought it under control with a simple touch as he glanced around.

In a flash, he assessed the situation around him and managed to form a mental map of all the opponents and teammates around him. The next moment, he unleashed a lofted pass towards the flanks to find Karl Toko Ekambi, Rosenborg's right-winger for the day.
