The Kenyan giants came out firing in the opening set, combining aggressive serving with precise attacking to take early control.

The second set brought a more determined response from the Ghanaian side, who tightened their defense and began to find rhythm. For a moment, it looked like a contest was brewing. But KPC had other plans. With relentless pressure and a surge of powerful serves late in the set, they pulled away to double their advantage. By the third set, it was all one-way traffic.
