Apunba FC dominated the earlier proceedings and drew first blood in the 12th minute through Sanatomba who also netted another in the 50th minute of the match.
His compatriot Bashan then extended the lead to 2-0 with a clinical strike in the 26th minute before John fired in the third goal in the 49th minute.
Wanted Boys came to live lately with Tajuddin opening up their account in the 57th minute while Rahaman found the second goal in the 59th minute to reduce the gap by 2 goals.
Their effort to close the gap however failed as there was no enough time and Apunba FC defence set up did well to deny their revival.
