Bulls entered the halftime break leading 10–4.
The second half remained competitive for long stretches, with Panthers showing resilience defensively and continuing to challenge physically around the middle of the field. However, Bulls gradually created separation through improved execution and sustained pressure in attacking areas.
Wulff Bevis Wilfred extended the lead with a try at 60, though Richard Browne Asare was unable to convert at 62. Collins Kweku Ofosu then crossed twice in the closing stages, scoring at 70min and again at 79min to seal the result.
