Benadir started by defending deep and limiting El Mereikh to long shots, but in the 17th minute, Wanga capitalised on poor defending to steal a goal with a shot outside the 18-yard box beating Patrick Gichob in goal. In the 35th minute, Ahmed Elbasha, captain of El Mereikh scored the second with the assist pass coming from Mohamed Bakhiet.
