Akhmat responded nine minutes later in unusual fashion. In the 60th minute, Baltika defender Kevin Andrade turned the ball into his own net, bringing the hosts level at 1–1. The own goal shifted momentum and set up a tense final half-hour, but neither side could find a decisive breakthrough.

The match was competitive throughout, with bookings reflecting the intensity on both sides. Baltika’s Ilya Petrov and Nathan Gassama went into the referee’s book before the break, while Belikov was cautioned in the second half. For Akhmat, Ousmane N’Dong and Miroslav Bogosavac received yellow cards as the hosts pushed to turn one point into three.

Both coaches turned to their benches in search of a winner. Akhmat introduced Sergey Pryakhin, Mohamed Konaté and Rifat Zhemaletdinov, while Baltika brought on Mikhail Ryadno, Tenton Yenne, Irakliy Manelov and Aymane Mourid. However, the 1–1 scoreline held until the final whistle.
