By the end of the first half, "Karabakh" managed to recover from the shock.
In the 45+1 minute, Benziya restored the balance. And before going to the break (45+5 minutes), Patryc Andrade put Karabakh ahead – 3:2.
In the second half, the score did not change and since the sum of the two games was 4:4, extra time was appointed.
In the overtime, Karabakh was unstoppable. In the 93rd minute, Toral Bayramov scored the 4th goal.
Then, Jidja, Patrick Andrade again and Yasin Benzia scored a goal each.
The final whistle of the referee recorded a crushing victory of Karabakh over Ludogorets 7:2.
