The second half of the game saw the players take to their feet without attacking their opponents’ goal area until the 48th minute, where they broke off on a quick counter attack to set up Ruth Adhiambo for a score. Carol Njoki scored the last goal of the match in the 63^rd minute after a clinical pass from Yvonne Karanja who was the player of the match.
