Olmaroroi stadium
Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Rhys Colley started the match with the kick off. Walter Kiptum took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Rhys Colley, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 10th minute, Antony Galloway ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Walter Kiptum was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. 17 minutes into the game, Ali Anush was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Olmaroroi fc's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Dakar SC the free kick. If Rhys Colley had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. John Muttendago charged in rather forcefully in the 24th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed John Muttendago the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play.

Walter Kiptum was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After some fancy dribbling in the 32nd minute, James Gichuki managed to get in a good position for a shot. Olmaroroi fc's supporters rose to their feet, but James Gichuki was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Toby Grainger breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Walter Kiptum showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ross Beecham in the 34th minute of the match.

After a defensive mix-up in Olmaroroi fc's zone, Rhys Colley stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Walter Kiptum came out of the goal and Rhys Colley tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-3.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. James Gichuki was the one to do the kick off. In the 51st minute, James Gichuki made a precise shot to the right of Toby Grainger. Dakar SC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-3. Rhys Colley struck a weak shot in the 54th minute. Walter Kiptum didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Dakar SC. 59 minutes into the match, Dakar SC's goal looked a bit too open when James Gichuki came free, but Toby Grainger reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Rhys Colley received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 68th minute. Walter Kiptum tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Dakar SC's Roger Arrowsmith pulled a muscle in his back after 70 minutes and couldn't finish the game. John Muttendago got his second yellow card in the match during the 70th minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. Dakar SC made a substitution. Rodney Frost replaced Roger Arrowsmith. Walter Kiptum showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Antony Galloway, who was totally free with the ball in the 73rd minute. Toby Grainger didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from James Gichuki went, in the 75th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-4 was the resulting score. Rhys Colley scored 3-5 in the 79th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Walter Kiptum, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Rhys Colley could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 85th minute of the match, but Walter Kiptum made a huge save. After having played for 87 minutes, Ross Beecham managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Dakar SC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ross Beecham was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.
