Following an extended delay of about an hour, the teams returned to the pitch to resume the encounter.Migori looked sharper after the restart, with Odoyo testing Ouru from a free-kick after Otieno was brought down near the edge of the penalty area. The goalkeeper came off his line to punch away the delivery.The hosts continued to apply pressure, with Philemon Nyakwaka firing wide from distance after Dennis Oguta laid the ball into his path.

The former KCB attacker held off his marker and found himself one-on-one with Ouru but directed his effort straight at the goalkeeper, wasting a golden opportunity to hand Migori the lead.Mathare nearly capitalised on the missed chance moments later, with Simiyu breaking through on goal after a pass from Asieche.
