In the second half, Team Itsekiri regained their momentum, scoring two more goals from Omatseye Eriyo and Ebiwei Gbenedio in the 60th and 80th minutes, respectively. Despite a spirited effort, Ndokwa East United couldn't bridge the gap, ultimately conceding defeat.

In the third-place match, Team Urhobo ( Udu United FC) secured a walkover victory against Team Isoko, who failed to show up for the game. This outcome automatically awarded Team Urhobo third place in the tournament.
