Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Niranjan Malhan took the kick off in the first half of the match. The supporters of Berkhamstsdfed booed when Whitwell Unitasded was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 2 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ketana Dhudwal didn't get a good kick on the ball. The long shot by Niranjan Malhan in the 3rd minute really tested Bhurida Gurai's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. Bhurida Gurai showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Niranjan Malhan, who was totally free with the ball in the 11th minute. In a very dangerous position, a player in Whitwell Unitasded fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 10th minute. Penalty!

In the 19th minute Dharmaghosa Bedi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dyunisa Liansailova saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Bhurida Gurai made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Niranjan Malhan in the 21st minute of play. Asvattha Ngullie recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 28th minute.

After having played for 30 minutes, Alopa Sidhu managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Berkhamstsdfed's supporters crossed their fingers, but Alopa Sidhu was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Bhurida Gurai was a little too slow when Asavijaya Shergill got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 31st minute. The score was now 2-0. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Dharmaghosa Bedi in the 39th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Dyunisa Liansailova saved Berkhamstsdfed from getting behind.

Asvattha Ngullie received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Bhurida Gurai came out and tried to block the shot, but Asvattha Ngullie slotted it home off the left post making it 4-0 in the 46th minute. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 4-0.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Dharmaghosa Bedi made a kick off. Asvattha Ngullie took the ball and in the 51 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Bhurida Gurai. Bhurida Gurai dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 5-0. In the 59th minute, Kusumojvala Biswas fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. When Whitwell Unitasded's Kusumojvala Biswas in the 65th minute got a chance for a shot 65th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Berkhamstsdfed's goalie prevented a goal. 68 minutes into the match, Berkhamstsdfed's goal looked a bit too open when Kusumojvala Biswas came free, but Dyunisa Liansailova reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
