In the first match from Matchday 12 of the Second Division league, St Lawrence Spurs claimed a commanding 6–1 victory over Oratory Youths, bouncing back from the disappointment of their previous outing. With this win, the Spurs moved clear at the top of the standings.
St Lawrence dominated the encounter. They opened the scoring early and doubled their lead shortly before the break. Oratory reacted at the start of the second half, but their response was brief, as St Lawrence quickly regained control and added four unanswered goals, effectively sealing the win midway through the half. The standout performer was once again striker Felipe Augusto, who scored four goals to strengthen his lead at the top of the Second Division scoring chart.
