The match between Shooting Stars Ibadan and Bayelsa United FC was decided by a single early goal from Bayelsa United. Scored in the 30th minute, this goal demonstrated Bayelsa's ability to capitalise on limited opportunities. Despite Shooting Stars Ibadan securing seven corner kicks compared to Bayelsa’s five, they could not convert these set pieces into tangible scoring opportunities, reflecting inefficiency in their attacking execution.

Bayelsa United's defense held firm throughout, limiting Shooting Stars to minimal threats on goal. The absence of yellow or red cards for Shooting Stars suggests a disciplined approach, but perhaps at the expense of assertiveness. Meanwhile, Bayelsa's single yellow card illustrates a more aggressive defensive mindset that successfully thwarted Shooting Stars’ efforts to equalize.

Both teams engaged in relatively few fouls, with a combined total of eight, indicating a match played with respect yet lacking intensity. This low foul count might have contributed to the limited scoring opportunities, as fewer stoppages generally facilitate smoother gameplay. Efficient use of their possession by Bayelsa United ultimately secured their victory through early decisive action while maintaining robust defensive resilience throughout the match.
