Spectators: 6768 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1768, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Ashok Chauhan kicked off to start the match. After some careless play in the Soccer Stars FC defense, Ariyappa Rahul kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Devanayaka Kapani. The Soccer Stars FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Devanayaka Kapani should have stopped the shot. In the 14th minute of the match, Ariyappa Rahul got a very nice opportunity to score, but Devanayaka Kapani was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Ariyappa Rahul succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 2-0 in the 19th playminute. Soccer Stars FC's Devanayaka Kapani played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jaipida Nahal in the 24th minute of play. With a little luck, Soccer Stars FC's Devanayaka Kapani got control of the ball when Ariyappa Rahul tried to sneak it across the goal line. Ariyappa Rahul sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Sumat Yeddyurappa's late challenge caught a Penrith City's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Sumat Yeddyurappa helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Soccer Stars FC's Sumat Yeddyurappa got a free kick in the 35th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jaipida Nahal in the 37th minute of play forced Soccer Stars FC's goalkeeper Devanayaka Kapani to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Soccer Stars FC's Adityesa Ahuja got a free kick in the 40th minute. 40 minutes into the match, Penrith City's Ayobahu Ghai broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal.

After a defensive mix-up in Penrith City's zone, Jagara Solanki stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Amitagati Sakhrie came out of the goal and Jagara Solanki tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 54 minutes, Binota Johal mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Penrith City and the Soccer Stars FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. Jagara Solanki fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 56th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Amitagati Sakhrie having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ariyappa Rahul in the 64th minute of play forced Soccer Stars FC's goalkeeper Devanayaka Kapani to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Jaipida Nahal came up free with the goalie in the 77th minute, the Penrith City fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Jaipida Nahal couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Binota Johal in the 81st minute of play forced Soccer Stars FC's goalkeeper Devanayaka Kapani to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 85thth minute of the game Ariyappa Rahul who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Soccer Stars FC's Devanayaka Kapani was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Jaipida Nahal received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 91st minute. Devanayaka Kapani tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Jaipida Nahal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
