First Half<\/strong><\/h2>

The Printers settled quickly and dictated large spells of possession, executing Coach Abdallah\u2019s build-up patterns with patience and control. The clearer chances fell our way.<\/p>

Poloto tested the backline with sharp movement and big attempts, while Munguchi will feel he should have broken the deadlock after blazing over with the goal at his mercy \u2014 a moment that proved costly.<\/p>

Kitara, by contrast, were clinical with their opportunity. Just before the break, Wahab delivered an inviting aerial cross that was met by a powerful header, giving the hosts the lead against the run of play.<\/p>

Second Half<\/h2>

The Royals adjusted their approach after the interval, abandoning patient build-up for direct long balls. The tactical shift disrupted our rhythm, denied us sustained possession, and stretched the defensive structure.<\/p>

Seven minutes into the half, Kabon capitalized to double the advantage, putting the hosts firmly in control.<\/p>

Despite late efforts to regain momentum, the deficit remained.<\/p>
