The first half concluded without any goals, and the referee, Julius, signalled for the break at the 45-minute mark.

The second half continued in a similar vein, with both teams searching for the breakthrough. It was in this period that Black Vultures finally found the net, securing the only goal of the match. The decisive moment came when a well-placed shot from one of their forwards found the back of the net, sending the home crowd into raptures.

Despite Kayole Youngstars' efforts to respond, they were unable to breach the resolute Black Vultures defence. The final whistle confirmed a hard-earned victory for the Vultures, who celebrated their narrow win with jubilant scenes on the pitch.
