The afternoon clash between King David Higher Secondary School and SFS Higher Secondary School was a tightly contested affair, with both teams battling hard for midfield control and launching repeated attacking moves. SFS proved more clinical in set-piece situations, as Lengoungam rose above the defence to head home twice with precision and timing.
His brace sealed a 2–0 victory for SFS, giving them crucial momentum in the tournament.
The evening match between Chakhroma Baptist Mission School (CBMS) and Modern Christian School (MCS) delivered high drama and remained undecided until the final minutes.

CBMS responded just before halftime, with Megokhotso calmly finishing from a well-worked through ball to level the score at 1–1.
The second half saw relentless pressure from both sides, but the decisive moment came late in the game when a goalkeeping error from CBMS allowed Rekuta to slot home the winner. MCS held firm in the closing stages to secure a 2–1 victory, marking a thrilling end to Day 2 of the tournament.
