Vihiga doubled their advantage in the 19th minute as sloppy defending by Wadadia allowed Phelitus Kadari to tee up Ater, who stroked home a left-footed shot from inside the penalty area to put the visitors firmly in control.
Queens eased off in the remainder of the first half and allowed Wadadia to see more of the ball, though the visitors offered little in the way of penetration and goalkeeper Tembesi was left mostly untested. The score remained 2-0 in favor of the visitors until the halftime interval.
