The next thirty minutes proved to be an uphill battle for Bukit Jelutong with Southern FC again scored their fourth goal from a long range shot in the 32nd minute. A tense game was evident as the game gets more physical. A chance from Affendi Amir could not be converted when the opposing side defenders closed ranks on him. He again failed to score when his shot was wide after a neat through ball from Ungku Nazrin Hakim. A more solid defends was created when Rizwan Kamil was put into the field. The Gliders did not manage the second half due to lots of incomplete passes.
Although the third half was dominated by Bukit Jelutong, getting the ball to the back of the net proved to be an uphill task. Shots by Mohd Rahimi and Johan Arif Josmin hit the cross bar while Ikram's shot was saved by the goalkeeper. A rough tackle by Syed Mohd Shahril earned Southern FC their penalty but the shot went over the crossbar. The final goal of the match during the 86th minute. A low cross by Adly Saifullah met Johan and a gentle tap from him made the scoreline 4-3.
