In the first few minutes of the match, Roma failed to convert three clear chances.<ref name=StampaLeg2/> After ten minutes, manager Carniglia ran {{convert|60|yards}} onto the pitch to confront Birmingham captain Bloomfield, who was bending over an injured Roma player.<ref name=MirrorLeg2/> Following an incident between [[Bryan Orritt]] and [[Giampaolo Menichelli]], blows were exchanged among the players, and Carniglia had to be restrained by Roma officials from joining in.<ref name=StampaLeg2/> This time, Birmingham manager [[Gil Merrick]] followed Carniglia onto the pitch, feeling he "had to be there to try and cool things down".<ref name=ExpressLeg2/> Play continued, albeit still marred by a lack of discipline. As in the first leg, Birmingham's physical approach provoked reactions from the Roma players. Menichelli was carried off injured after an incident with [[Brian Farmer]], Lojacono raised his hands to the referee, who took no action, and the game reached the interval still goalless, which ''La Stampa'' thought a fair reflection of the half.<ref name=StampaLeg2/>
The match was hostile both on and off the field. [[Jimmy Harris (footballer, born 1933)|Jimmy Harris]] recalled the Roma players hanging back as the teams approached the pitch, leaving their visitors to be showered with cups of sand which penetrated the wire mesh protecting players from items thrown from above.{{cn|date=July 2020}} Although the Birmingham team – nicknamed the "[[Brummie dialect|Brummie]] bashers" in the tabloid press – had a reputation for physicality, the ''Daily Mirror'' expressed amazement at their self-control "as the Italians used every trick of body checking and obstruction to make things run their way".<ref name=MirrorLeg2/> At half-time, the referee warned both captains that any further display of indiscipline or temper would result in the culprit being sent off, and issued an individual warning to Lojacono.<ref name=MailLeg2/>
After 61 minutes, a move begun by Lojacono ended with an attempted clearance of his shot striking Farmer on the shins and rebounding into the net.<ref name=ExpressLeg2/> ''La Stampa'' remarked on the improved player discipline once Roma had the lead.<ref name=StampaLeg2/> Birmingham rallied for a short period after the goal, and Orritt and Singer each "missed the sort of chances that cannot be ignored in cup games",<ref name=ExpressLeg2/> before Roma regained control. Manfredini missed three good chances and hit the post with the goalkeeper beaten,<ref name=LunitaLeg2/> and the outclassed Birmingham side finally resorted to before, in the second minute of stoppage time, [[Paolo Pestrin]] broke forward and hit a powerful shot from distance into the top corner of the net.<ref name=MirrorLeg2/>
