MIC came out hungry for goals and got two quick strikes from Ricardo John and Sean Bonval to put them ahead 2-0. MIC were in full control and could have went further ahead but squandered a number of opportunities.

Jerren Stephen, who collected the ball on the halfway line, played a defence-splitting pass to forward Tyreke Agard who took one touch before rifling a laser shot into the top left corner of the net. MIC did well to hold their nerve and the score to the final whistle to pick up the three points.
