The second half was more even, and would see two Midway goals to seal the win. Brad Wilson would score in the 54th minute to put Midway up 2-0 after Bryce Romanello (FR/Lucasville, Ohio) hit the crossbar at the other end. Kazuto Sugawara (SR/Tokyo, Japan) would be shown a red card in the 75th minute, which was followed by a spell of attacking possession for Shawnee State. The Eagles would seal the game when Carlos Pinto curled in from 18 yards in the 89th minute.
