Elvis Kimuli broke the deadlock in the 17th minute, calmly rounding the goalkeeper before slotting into an empty net to hand Greenlight an early lead.
They carried a 1-0 advantage into halftime, though discussions in the stands centered on several missed opportunities that could have extended their cushion.
