As the Rwandan national team was playing in the second half where it was seen that they were still hungry for goals, in the 55th minute Muhire Kevin came to correct the mistakes he had made by scoring a penalty and scoring the second goal from a ball that was passed to him by the South Sudanese defender.

The Amavubi continued to press forward and were close to scoring a third goal in the 81st minute when South Sudan came to the rescue with a first goal scored by David Sebith.
