The goal clearly unsettled Dembare, who fell behind the pace.
Despite Bosso’s dominance, the visitors had a few opportunities on the opposite end after getting a couple of free kicks in dangerous positions.
However, they failed to utilise the chances and went to the break trailing 1-0.
The deficit was extended early into the second with Faira scoring Bosso’s second goal in the 48th minute.

However, Mandinyenya’s goal proved to be a mere consolation at the end of the game as the Glamour Boys failed to complete the recovery and lost the match 2-1.
