South City Fc lined up in a traditional 4-3-3 formation, deploying four defenders across the backline, three midfielders centrally, and a front three tasked with providing width and penetration.

Up front, the three forwards were charged with stretching the opposition’s defence and creating goal-scoring opportunities.
No substitutes were named for South City Fc or Legacies fc ahead of the match, meaning both teams relied on their starting elevens throughout the contest.
The first half was a cagey affair, with both sides probing cautiously but unable to break the deadlock before the interval. The referee brought the half to a close at the 30-minute mark, with the scoreline still goalless. Despite the limited time frame, the match showed signs of intensity and tactical discipline from both teams.
In the second half, Legacies fc managed to find the breakthrough, scoring twice to take a commanding lead. South City Fc responded with a goal of their own, reducing the deficit and injecting renewed hope into their play. However, despite their efforts, South City Fc could not find an equaliser before the final whistle.
The referee’s performance was rated as average, overseeing a match that was competitive but lacked clear-cut chances in the early stages. The 4-3-3 formation employed by South City Fc demanded fluidity and attacking intent, but the team struggled to convert possession into goals against a resilient Legacies fc defence.
Ultimately, Legacies fc’s clinical finishing made the difference in this encounter, securing a 2-1 victory away from home and leaving South City Fc to rue missed opportunities in a closely fought contest at Athi River.
