As the game progressed, both sides launched promising attacks, with the home team (Tigers) pressing more aggressively in search of a lead.

Coach Kananji’s tactical substitutions proved decisive, introducing fresh legs in Hassan Hussein, George Chaomba, Ademola Ajibola, Ramadan Ntafu, and Harvey Nasiyaya, who all fought hard to swing the match in Crecks’ favour.

The winning moment arrived with just nine minutes left on the clock, when Jauma Edward delivered a perfect ball into the box. George Chaomba made no mistake, finishing clinically to seal the historic 2-1 win.

Chaomba and Hussein continued to press forward, creating more opportunities to extend the lead. Hassan Hussein, who was introduced just five minutes before halftime, impressed with his high work rate and attacking threat earning him the Man of the Match award for his standout performance.

This victory is not just three points it’s a statement. Creck Sporting have now written the name into the history books with the first win in the top flight, a result that reflects the team’s growing confidence and tactical maturity.
