rough tackles, was replaced with Striker, Frimpong Enock, after close to
scoring the a third goal for his side.
The first goal of the match was

down by RTU’s goalkeeper resulting in a penalty. Mba subsequently opened the score
line with a spectacular spot kick.
The match continued with the away team soaking intense pressure
from all angles to get an equalizer, but all effort proved futile as the defence

In the 70th minute, the winning team had a clear
opportunity to double the lead when George Akampeke came face to face with the
keeper of RTU but placed the ball into his waiting arms.
After minutes of fierce battle, F.C Tanga was able to seal
the deal by scoring her second goal through a sublimed kick by Solomon Asakiya.
