Salazar and Triay emerged determined to turn the result around in the second part. Even though the world's third-ranked pair exhibited an exceptional defensive game, Gemma and Ale's offensive ability was too much for them, and they got the break in the tenth game, forcing a third set.

In the final set Salazar and Triay brought out their experience in finals. The world number two pairing capitalised on every one of their opponents' mistakes and quickly made the difference on the scoreboard to take the match 6/7 6/4 6/1.
