After being left behind by 3 goals, Japan begins its comeback with the golden combination of Tsubasa and Misaki, which would also be complimented by Hyuuga. We also see the Tachibana twins making the second goal, but they'd be injured afterwards after hitting the goalposts after they scored.
In the second half, we see more of Diaz being too selfish and wants to defeat Tsubasa on his own, until Argentina would be left behind by 1 goal near the end of the match, which is unfortunately too late for him, but he finally realizes that soccer is not a sport played by yourself and you're playing in a team, and starts to pass the ball around instead of bringing the ball by himself and shoot.
We also saw Misugi making his international debut at the final quarters of the second half, replacing Nitta and also scoring his first goal just minutes after entering the pitch.
