In the 24th minute, Kitchee struck again. HO Mui Mei received a pass from YU Hei Man inside the box and shot with his right foot into the far corner, making it 3–0.

TSL FC, which had been under pressure throughout, pulled one back in the 31st minute. BANDOJA Isabella Marie Rabano advanced from the defensive half, powered past two opponents, and shot into the near corner to make it 1–3.

In the end, Kitchee defeated TSL FC 3–1 to reach the final.

YIU Hei Man, who joined Kitchee from HKFC in the second half of the season, scored one goal and provided one assist in this match. Talking about her transfer, she said: "In the middle of this season, I wanted to push myself further, so I chose to join Kitchee." Yiu Hei Man also noted that the team's victory over Yan FC came because everyone played with freedom: "We didn't overthink things, just enjoyed the game, executed the coach's tactics, and made the most of every opportunity."
