Both teams showed signs and desires to get an early lead at the start of the game, recording series of accurate passes and fowls as well with the Journalist facing most of the pressure as the defensive compartment played with fear following the temporal absence of first choice keeper NGAH Junior replaced by an inexperienced BONTE Modest NKOUE.
The pressure led to the Advertisers gaining a free kick some 20 yards from the goal post and which saw their free kick specialist George EYANGO converting the set piece into goal at the 5th minute.
Minutes later, the News men, coached by Alain NDANGA regained confidence following arrival of keeper NGAH Junior.
