Both teams in Senior Group B have won their 2 previous matches and have already qualified for the semis but both are looking for a win to boost confidence and finish top of the table.Within minutes it is clear that San Sero want to disrupt the slick passing game of the Dappers with tough challenges and in some cases, dirty play. Within the first 15 minutes 2 yellow cards are shown. On 20 minutes Lubyayi fends off 2 bad challenges to round the last defender and slot home for a 1-0 lead.
It remains that way until 10 minutes into the second half as San Sero push up from the back and a momentary lapse in concentration at the back costs the Dappers as Kagimu blasts in the equaliser. 1-1.
Within minutes however there is a goal mouth scramble at the other end. Fred lifts the ball high and with the San Sero goalie well out of position the ball falls into the net and is met with loud cheers from the Dappers fans. 2-1.
The rest of the match can be summed up in one phrase – poor refereeing! Firstly a terrible challenge on Walu only receives a yellow when replays show it had to be red. Secondly there is a terrible offside decision that denies San Sero a good chance of their equaliser. Trying to make up for his mistake the ref awards a very dubious penalty a minute later which San Sero score to level. The Dappers are incensed but hold on for the draw they need to stay top thanks to a vastly superior goal difference. This top spot however comes at the price of some injuries due to the unsporting behaviour of San Sero. It’s clear who won't be winning the fair play award!
