The Hosts started the match well and scored in the first minute through in-form striker Brian Aheebwa. They continued dominating the match and Aheebwa scored the second goal in the 36th minute to level the aggregate at 2-2. The first half ended with the hosts leading 2-1 and level on aggregate with the visitors but striker Hakizimana converted from the spot in the 49th minute to give his team an edge.

Although KCCA dominated most of the match, AS Kigali held on their slim lead to progress to the qualification round of the confederations Cup.
