Hi,
Though there was a second act of unprotected sex, pills (unwanted 72) must be taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex. As you have taken the emergency contraceptive pill within 24 hours of unprotected intercourse, it can reduce the risk of pregnancy by up to 95%. So, one pill is enough. But not always 100% protective.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
