Sang-Gai FS who seemed lost in the match, found themselves in deeper trouble when L Boynao brought down Amekar, resulting in a penalty in the 30th minute. L Suraj made no mistake to convert it to perfection for Neroca FC.

However Sang-Gai FS felt lightened when substitute player N Rohijit Singh got the lone goal in the 90th+5 minute. Three Sangai-Gai players and two Neroca FC players got yellow cards in the match.
