The second half saw Mighty Jets International FC take control of the game, but Atarah FA’s resistant defense stood their ground to deny Usman Maiyanga a chance to put the Jets in front.

Atarah FA showed a lot of discipline and promise with their offensive capabilities.
But with 3 minutes remaining of normal time, Mighty Jets International FC’s young striker, Usman Maiyanga, capitalized on yet another mix-up in the defence of Atarah FA to make it impossible for them to come back with a lovely shot to make it 3-1 for Mighty Jets International FC.
