Panama started the second half with nothing to lose but found themselves under pressure. Despite this, their closest opportunity came when Richard Rios' deflected shot from a free-kick routine narrowly missed the target, marking the closest chance post-half-time until twenty minutes remaining. As the match approached its conclusion, Daniel Munoz got a half-touch near the edge of the box and Rios seized on the loose ball and unleashed a powerful strike past Mosquera. In injury time, a reckless challenge by Jose Cordoba on Santiago Arias resulted in Colombia's second penalty of the night, which Miguel Borja calmly converted to seal a decisive victory.
