The Buruj FC boys, not relenting in their efforts to turn the game around with their attacking approach, forced a  Spartan FC defender to bring down Buruj FC player, Hamed Gafar, in the eighteen yard box. Even though it was very glaring, the referee did not award a penalty. So the first half ended two nil in favour of Spartan FC.
The second half resumed at exactly 5:00pm. The Buruj FC boys, who took the second half pass, came up stronger determined to get the needed goal.
But unfortunately, as they surged forward, the Buruj FC boys lost connection as a penetrative pass from the Spartan FC midfielder beat Buruj FC defense line. That pass made Spartan FC right winger to come up one on one against the Buruj FC goalkeeper, Inyang Edet, and he placed the ball in the far away corner for their third goal in the 50th minute of play.
At full time, the game ended with Buruj FC losing three goals to nil.
