Despite the goal lead and the game seeing an Eveton desperately looking for the equalizer at least, the Hammers top man Marko Arnatouvic caught by an opportune and well placed Pedro Obiang to score in the 61’ minute the go-ahead goal.

As the Hammers with the momentum down versus the Academy of Science coming labeled as the ultimate favorites and in the end these got the worst part and ending on the overall table in tenth place with six points.
