In the second minute of the game, Kigwancha lost a point by the opponent’s penalty kick.

But its players mounted diverse and positive attacks as they made quick break, frontal break-through based on two-man combination and fast dribbling in the penalty area of their opponents to turn the table, thus scoring goals in succession.

Player No. 9 of the Wolmido, which had tried to break through the left half side and to score by dint of centring, succeeded in scoring a goal in the 85th minute.
