After the restart, Buducnost continued to carry the greater threat on the counter-attack. They doubled their advantage with a second goal that demonstrated their efficiency in front of goal, leaving the away side with a mountain to climb. Usce refused to fold and managed to pull one back, briefly raising hopes of a comeback among their travelling fans.

Any hope of a late turnaround was extinguished when Buducnost Krusik restored their two-goal cushion with a third strike. From that moment, the hosts managed the game intelligently, closing down the space in midfield and protecting their lead with composure.

The final whistle confirmed a 3-1 win for FK Buducnost Krusik and a satisfying cup night for the club.
