You can say Hello and Goodbye but other than that: Don't interact with the Assessor (Examiner 2) He/She is just there to listen to you and Examiner 1. 

Focus on production: 

Put forth ideas - to be able to give ideas clearly.

Expand and develop 

Language range and accuracy - to be able to make a point more specifically

Focus on Interaction

Turn taking: Ask for your partner's opinion, What do you think? Do you agree? 

Listening actively and respond: I see what you are saying, I agree with you. I am not sure that I really agree with that.

Functional Language: A good language range to help us to explain things in different ways.

What mistake did Mustafa make? 

Was there natural interaction between the Pilar and Mustafa? 

Did they discuss the ideas together? 

they discuss the ideas together, not in turn 

Was there good eye contact?

Good and they are facing each other.

What mistake did Mustafa make? 

Mustafa didn't really respond to Pilar, he is good at expressing his points but he seemed to move on to the next topic without responding to what Pilar was saying, he tends to launch a Monologue mode rather than ask Pilar for her opinion.
