Emaviwe gave BG Pathum the lead 10 minutes into the match when he stole in from behind defender Marco Casambre to pick up a pass from Waris Choolthong and slide the ball from outside the six-yard area past Alfredo Cortez.
Skipper Jesus Melliza and defender Vincent Diano’s efforts to level the score ended in frustration while Kenshiro Daniels saw his shot from outside the area go past the right post.

At the other end, Gakuto Notsuda’s cut-back failed to find any takers while Seydine N'Diaye’s tame header from another good Waris cross was easily collected by Cortez.
Despite having a larger share of possession, the visitors failed to create any real opening, landing only three shots at goal in the first half, which were three more than Kaya FC–Iloilo.

Emaviwe again proved a threat 10 minutes into the second half when he rounded Cortez on the right but his goal-bound shot was cleared by defender Marcus Ravn on the goal line.
After coming close numerous times, BG Pathum landed their second goal in the 69th minute when Doi collected a Joel Lopez pass outside the area, composed himself and drove a scorcher that went past Cortez and hit both posts before rolling in.

Kaya FC–Iloilo’s best efforts to get back into the game proved futile, with Mike Ott and Martini Rey fluffing their attempts in the last 10 minutes.
