Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Mike Mwencha kicked off to start the match. In a very dangerous position, a player in Timsbury fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 3rd minute. Penalty! Wilfred Waheto had in the 5thth minute some difficulties stopping Lawo Kalekye's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. After 5 minutes of play, Arsenal's Lawo Kalekye made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Wilfred Waheto was left in no man's land by his defense there! After 9 played minutes, Arsenal's Lawo Kalekye shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Wilfred Waheto came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Arsenal reached it. The supporters of Arsenal booed when Timsbury was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 10 match minutes in a wonderful position. Wilson Mbindyo didn't get a good kick on the ball. Henry Osoro hit a great freekick 11 minutes into the match. In the 12th minute of the match Lawo Kalekye shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Wilfred Waheto showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball.
