The second half brought out the best from Uruguay following an unexpectedly slow start in the first half. After the first half, the two national teams were level on the scoreline after former Liverpool star Darwin Nunez's opener from the penalty was cancelled out by Anirudh Thapa's instinctive effort after a vicious Ryan Williams shot.

However, the dynamic of the game shifted following a short delay to the proceedings due to lightning near around the stadium. The restart saw Uruguay take the upper hand as Maxi Araujo capitalized on the unsettled India side to regain the lead for La Celeste.

Second half saw Rodrigo Zalazar, Maxi Araujo, Juan Sanabria, and Rodrigo Aguirre help Forlan truly dominate as they added four goals after the break.
