Spectators: 6775 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1775, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Kalyanin Tind started the match with the kick off. When Swinton's Teju Chaddha in the 11th minute got a chance for a shot 11th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Aylesbury's goalie prevented a goal. Guruswamy Sehgal received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 18th minute. Avirhotra Patil tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 22 minutes into the game, Adityesa Sanghera was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Aylesbury's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Swinton the free kick. Adityesa Sanghera hit a great freekick 22 minutes into the match.

Swinton's Teju Chaddha managed to work through Aylesbury's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Teju Chaddha dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. Kakunda Pant made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Kalyanin Tind in the 36th minute of play. Karamjot Sachdeva's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Kakunda Pant firmly grabbed it by the left post.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Teju Chaddha was the one to do the kick off. If Guruswamy Sehgal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

In the 91st minute Faquir Takhar suffered a thigh injury and had to be helped off the field. After 91 minutes, Jayalakshm Pujari mouthed his way into the referee's book.
