Sharon Mokeira put Rigoma Starlets back in the lead four minutes after the break before Kemuma completed her brace in the 54th minute.

With nine minutes left in the game, Achieng scored her second of the match to ensure there was going to be a tense finish to the encounter but Rigoma held on for the win.
