After the break, Slavia set the pace for some 15 minutes, but then Midtjylland started to create opportunities. The hosts tied the game in 65th minute when Mabil sent the ball into the penalty area and Ondřej Kolář was beaten by Kaba’s header.

After 79 minutes a crucial moment of the game came. A penalty was awarded for Midtjylland after Holeš’s handplay. Ondřej Kolář saved the first attempt by Scholz, however, the penalty was awarded again for Kolář stepping few centimetres away from the goal line. Given a second chance, Scholz gave the hosts lead in the 84th minute scoring from the spot.
