Kenya recorded a four-goal streak to close out the first half, including a 3-0 second half, and lead 6-2 at the break. After a long gap for both teams at the start of the third quarter, Uganda stepped into the game with the first goal from the frame to close the gap to three.

After more than 25 minutes in real-time and two nerve-racking goalless overtime, Uganda finally pulled the deadlock and took a 9-8. victory.
