Spectators: 7713 (Terracing: 5786, Seating: 1774, VIP seats: 153) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Anudara Sokhey made the kick off which started today's match. Amritadana Acharya hit a great freekick 4 minutes into the match. A hard shot by Caruvardhana Dasgupta from long distance, 5 minutes into the match, got Gorla Ahluwalia's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. Belvedere FC's Gorla Ahluwalia played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Akrsnakarman Chandha in the 7th minute of play. When Akrsnakarman Chandha in the 10th play minute got the chance to kick a hard shot on goal from short distance neither the defense or Gorla Ahluwalia kept up with the ball and suddenly the score was 1-0 when the ball slipped into goal inside the left pole. 14 minutes in the game, Dyutita Chopra fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Gorla Ahluwalia having to interfere. With a little luck, Belvedere FC's Gorla Ahluwalia got control of the ball when Hararupa Ghuman tried to sneak it across the goal line. Hararupa Ghuman recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 31st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 32nd minute, Hararupa Ghuman managed to get in a good position for a shot. Nailsea's supporters rose to their feet, but Hararupa Ghuman was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Gorla Ahluwalia breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Dyutita Chopra during the 34th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 34th minute, Dyutita Chopra hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 35 played minutes Kutilagesa Manjrekar shot from long distance. At first the shot seemed to be simple for Nailsea's Dhyanayogi Shrivastav to catch but Kutilagesa Manjrekar was lucky. It became 1-1 after the goalkeeper had been careless and dropped the ball into goal. When Amritadana Acharya was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 39 minutes had been played. In the 40th match minute, Belvedere FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Amritadana Acharya to maneuver through the defense. In the 41st minute, Caruvardhana Dasgupta sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Belvedere FC's Gorla Ahluwalia didn't even have to move. An unexpectedly hard shot by Aviratha Bains in the 43rd minute of play forced Belvedere FC's goalkeeper Gorla Ahluwalia to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 46th minute, Akrsnakarman Chandha got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. If Akrsnakarman Chandha had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 48th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The wind increased when Akrsnakarman Chandha made the kick off in the second half. Jivadeva Chakma hit a great freekick 52 minutes into the match. Jivana Agarwal's late challenge caught a Belvedere FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Jivana Agarwal helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Nailsea getting a freekick after 55 minutes play. Jivana Agarwal hit a great ball. Kutilagesa Manjrekar, 56 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Akrsnakarman Chandha in the 59th minute of play forced Belvedere FC's goalkeeper Gorla Ahluwalia to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Anudara Sokhey fell near the penalty area in the 60th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Belvedere FC's protests and gave Anudara Sokhey a yellow card for diving instead. Anudara Sokhey kicked well hit freekick during the 60th minute of the match. 63 minutes into the match, Akrsnakarman Chandha had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Gorla Ahluwalia. Belvedere FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Akrsnakarman Chandha was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. The supporters of Belvedere FC booed when Nailsea was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 66 match minutes in a wonderful position. Kamaraja Mitra didn't get a good kick on the ball. Hararupa Ghuman fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gorla Ahluwalia having to interfere. If Akrsnakarman Chandha had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 75th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Hararupa Ghuman scored 3-1 in the 80th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Gorla Ahluwalia, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Hararupa Ghuman fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 87th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gorla Ahluwalia having to interfere. Akrsnakarman Chandha sent away a hard shot on goal in the 92nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Gorla Ahluwalia took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Hararupa Ghuman, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some fancy dribbling in the 98th minute, Avagaha Vishwakarma managed to get in a good position for a shot. Belvedere FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Avagaha Vishwakarma was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Dhyanayogi Shrivastav breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Nailsea'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.
