Lack of creativity in the final third was rife in the first half as both teams struggled to weave way and give the custodians some work to do or even keep them busy in commanding the backline to stay vigilant.

Sharks who have in the past matches been treating fans to free flowing game surprisingly found it difficult to string passes together and poke holes in the Bandari defence. The visitors also looked shy in progressing the ball and asking questions in the Sharks area, display that was frustrating coach Anthony Kimani who occasionally was seen asking his charges to step up.
