They remained in the lead as well, it was only a matter of time to increase the difference, which eventually came together in the middle of the game. Until the break, the excellent tactics of the mini-state prevented further goals, but the rival had no strength to counterattacks, only rarely reached the Hungarian 16th place.

The second half continued in the descending fog where the first one stopped: the Hungarian team attacked, the San Marino defended. What meant a change is that Hungarian supremacy proved to be barren at the time, because it was not paired with situations. For the last 20-25 minutes, the pressure increased again, with the accurate, goal-scoring shot of Szoboszlai and Vécsei, the Hungarian team managed to win the match between the two teams against San Marino by at least three goals.
