Kevin Wangaya put the Rising Stars ahead after only five minutes, scoring from the penalty spot after a Nigerian defender stopped the ball with his hand in the box.

The East Africans were back in front in the 68th minute with a freekick from the left and  William finished  past goalkeeper Ebenezer Harcourt from Lawrence’s cross.
