In the 2nd half, Trajkovski had two more chances in the 58th and 68th minute, but both of his efforts were saved by the Oostende keeper Didier Ovono.  Mechelen maintained its 1:0 lead until the 86th minute when Oostende netted the equalized for a final score of 1:1. 

Aleksandar eventually played until the 89th minute when he was substituted by Senad Karahmet, while his Macedonian teammate Tome Pachovski remained sidelined with an ankle injury.
