Cassidy started from ninth on the grid but managed to finish ahead of his compatriot Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing), after the safety car entry on the final lap secured his win.
The British Jake Dennis (Avalanche Andretti Formula E Team) was unable to keep up with the leaders but managed to move from eleventh on the grid to take third place on the podium. While the Argentine franc sacha fenestraz (Nissan Formula E Team) finished fourth ahead of the Englishman jake hughes (NEOM McLaren Formula E Team).
The German pascal wehrlein (TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E), who had come as the leader of the series at this event, finished 11th after starting 12th. This caused both him and his team to lose the lead in their respective championships.
