UBIDS, however, responded swiftly. Abdulai Zakari leveled the score in the 18th minute, shifting momentum and energizing his side to push for the winner.
The midfield battle was intense, with both teams refusing to give ground. As the match looked set for a draw, UBIDS struck again. Nang-Ib Niber-yang Karl scored in the 44th minute of the second half, securing the decisive goal and all three points for UBIDS. Their victory confirms them as early front-runners in the tournament.
