Jose Riveiro's charges were quick off the blocks as just two minutes in Monnapule Saleng unleashed a cracking shot from an angle that was tipped over the crossbar by goalkeeper Darren Keet. The visitors were forceful going forward, with Deon Hotto getting the breakthrough with 20 minutes on the clock after blasting into the top corner from just inside the box.
The Citizens weren't behind for too long after Juan Zapata connected with a well-weighted cross by Lyle Lakay and sent a fine header past Chaine for got his first goal for the club. The game opened up towards the halftime interval and Hotto wasted a big chance close to goal at the near post with a cut-back that evaded everyone, needing just a tap-in at the back post.16. Keet, 2.
