The contest became increasingly fractious as it wore on, with three yellow cards brandished in the final stages as both sides battled for supremacy. This result maintains both teams' solid preparation form heading into the new season, with KTP demonstrating early dominance while Gnistan proved their mental fortitude with the late rescue act.
