The game at the Sheikh Amri Abeid Memorial Stadium in Arusha, Tanzania was played on May 21, 2011, due to the seasonal difference in Africa, featuring Drake against an All-Star team of Mexican players from the CONADEIP [es] league.
[2] The Drake Bulldogs and CONADEIP All-Stars from Mexico met on the gridiron painted for the first time on African soil in Arusha, Tanzania.
Ens settled into a groove with the Drake offense and completed an 18-yard pass over the middle to wide receiver Joey Orlando on third and long.
Having seen Drake regain the lead at 10-7, the CONADEIP offense drove down the field to the Bulldogs 2-yard line, capped by Reyes' 37-yard run (he was tripped only two yards short of the end zone).
The All-Stars fumbled on the next possession due to a botched snap from the center and the Bulldog defense recovered the loose football.
With just over two minutes remaining in the game, Bulldog Matt Buckley intercepted a pass by García to seal the 17-7 Drake victory.
The game was watched by the American Ambassador to Tanzania Alfonso Lenhardt, the nation’s Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Lazaro Nayland, and a procession of dignitaries.
