In the 39th minute, Imoro Ibrahim nearly scored again, but his free-kick sailed off the crossbar. Mfegue followed and found Fabio Gama, but he couldn't make the final connection.

After halftime the Porcupine Warriors made some changes to their squad Emmanuel Keyekeh replaced the injured Mudasiru Salifu.
