Kwara United opened the scoring in the first minute of the game through Wasiu Alalade, and another goal just before halftime ensured that the Afonja Warriors had the game under control.

The match witnessed an early goal in the 3rd minute of play as Wasiu Alalade slotted home through a rebound after the defenders failed to clear their line.

The Afonja Warlords, however, made it three through an own goal by a Remo Stars defender.
As the match was reaching its final moments in the 88th minute, Remo Stars FC's Sodiq Ismail received a good pass, squared, and Franck Mawuena reduced the deficit.
