Harrow
Spectators: 7414 (Terracing: 5500, Seating: 1814, VIP seats: 100) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Krpananda Sahni made the kick off which started today's match. 15 minutes into the match, Arul Sihota notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Harrow's Karmarkar Pujari. Karmarkar Pujari was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 21st minute, Adhira Mattu left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Ultimate United FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. Karmarkar Pujari took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Edhas Powar, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The supporters of Ultimate United FC booed when Harrow was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 28 match minutes in a wonderful position. Paras Anand didn't get a good kick on the ball. Candrajita Krishnan stood somewhat misplaced when Sitaram Jha came free in front of goal and shot 1-2 to the left of him in the 33 minute. Candrajita Krishnan was out of position in the 37 minute of play, and Sitaram Jha capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Sitaram Jha really showed his touch with that goal: 2-2. In the 39th minute Dhanapala Nair shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Candrajita Krishnan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 2-2 after a close first half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Arul Sihota was the one to do the kick off. After having played for 58 minutes, Sitaram Jha managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Harrow's supporters crossed their fingers, but Sitaram Jha was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 59 minutes, Paras Anand mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Harrow and the Ultimate United FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 59th minute, Paras Anand hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Karmarkar Pujari showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Arul Sihota, who was totally free with the ball in the 61st minute. In the 62nd minute, Adhira Mattu reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Karmarkar Pujari. The goal made the score 2-3. After some careless play in the Ultimate United FC defense, Krpananda Sahni kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Candrajita Krishnan. The Ultimate United FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Candrajita Krishnan should have stopped the shot. 4-3 became the score in the 73rd minute when Krpananda Sahni elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Arul Sihota hit a great freekick 78 minutes into the match. Sitaram Jha struck a weak shot in the 84th minute. Candrajita Krishnan didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Harrow. Candrajita Krishnan took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Sitaram Jha, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Paras Anand kicked well hit freekick during the 88th minute of the match. In the 91st minute Krpananda Sahni shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Candrajita Krishnan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Harrow's supporters were delighted with their team's performance and swarmed onto the pitch at the end of the match to celebrate the victory with the players.
