Coming into the second half, Momodou Jargne's strike made it 2-0 for his side in the 76th minute.

Speaking in an interview with reporters, the head coach of Young Africans, German Mike Totzke, said that he appreciates his boys' performance as it is football, adding that after the red card showed to his player, his side came to the second half playing very well.
