In the second half Meroloma put some pressure on the Hawks defence, but the defence sustained the pressure until Mamad Sharifi who just subbed in gave Hawks a 2-1 lead. Later in the half, a good pass by Babak Shahbazi to Shahin Nabi lead to Shahin scoring the 3rd goal. Meroloma scored their 2nd in the 89th minute after a misunderstanding in the defence line up.
