In the second half the Malian team was the better side as they pressed on for goal. The Saint George team appeared to prefer to defend deep in their pitch to keep their goal advantage.

At the 83rd minute, Fitsum Gebremariam scored a goal muscling the ball out from the foot of the Malian defender. Fitsum came into the game substituting Umed Ukri who scored the first goal.

The teams made two substitutes and two players of the Malian team saw yellow cards.
