In the second-half, the Swedes would come together to try and get back a goal to get them back into the game. Fernando Villaseca had an opportunity that scraped off the right goalpost which would have changed the entire dynamic of the game. Sebastian Gonzalez would also get an opportunity which was saved well by the SCU goalkeeper. In the final minutes the Swedes created opportunities but could not convert any. The game would 1-0 in favor of SCU.
