Rabson Chiyenda made his fourth successive starts with Gomezgan Chirwa, Kesten Simbi and Precious Sambani were proving him with a cover. Chimwemwe Idana, Ernest Petro and Patrick. Mwaungulu were driving in the midfield with Bavatunde upfront.

As for Moyale Barracks, Prichard Mwansa knew that a victory was a mus,t. He made three changes from the line up that suffered a 3-1 defeat at Chitowe. Limbani Simenti , Semion Harawaband Timothy Nyirenda were brought into the starting XI in place of Chisomo Magombo, Jeremiah Simfukwe and Brown Magaga. Maneno Nyoni, Limbani Siment, Llyod Njaliwa, Khumbo Mhone, Victor Mwale, Raphael Phiri, Davie Msukwa were also among the starters.

The host, Moyale Barracks started the game on a high notch as they were dominating the game in the first 30 minutes of the game. In the midfield, Captain Lloyed Njaliwa, Khumbo Mhone, Charles Nkhoma were first on the ball, controlling the game but penetrating and creating clear cut chances was a challenge.

Nyasa Big Bullets came back into the game after 30 minutes as they started controlling the game with Chimwemwe Idana, Ernest Petro and Patrick Mwaungulu pilling pressure on Moyale's defenders but there was a drought of goals with Nyasa Big Bullets missing a couples of chances.
