In contrast, Kariobangi Sharks FC's yellow cards were both distributed during the second half, at 56 minutes 21 seconds and 85 minutes 8 seconds.

However, a notable difference in the teams' strategy was visible in the number of offsides. Sofapaka FC was caught offside three times, whereas Kariobangi Sharks FC didn't seem to take the same risks, with zero offsides.
