Forest Hill
Spectators: 7713 (Terracing: 5786, Seating: 1774, VIP seats: 153) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Dayaram Vurghese kicked off to start the match. When the match had gone on for 4 minutes, Dattatreya Kulkarni put it in 0-1 from a short distance just to the right of Avanipala Pujari. If Dhanirama Theunuo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 16 minutes into the match, Elementalists's Sukhcharan Sukhija sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Avanipala Pujari narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Elementalists's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Dayaram Vurghese 19 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 1-1. Dattatreya Kulkarni's late challenge caught a Forest Hill's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Dattatreya Kulkarni helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Elementalists getting a freekick after 29 minutes play. Dattatreya Kulkarni hit a great ball. Arali Sarkaria received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 31st minute. Sridhar Shetty tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 33rd minute, Anusrtasravas Shah hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 36th minute, Didyu Rudrappa hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. An unexpectedly hard shot by Aviklava Khatter in the 41st minute of play forced Elementalists's goalkeeper Sridhar Shetty to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 46 minutes, Amish Lamichaney mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Elementalists and the Forest Hill players grew even worse after the yellow card. Amish Lamichaney kicked well hit freekick during the 47th minute of the match. 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.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Dattatreya Kulkarni made a kick off. Samrath Lell hit a great freekick 54 minutes into the match. Dattatreya Kulkarni struck a weak shot in the 56th minute. Avanipala Pujari didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Elementalists. The crowd rose to their feet as Elementalists's Sukhcharan Sukhija slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Avanipala Pujari. That made the score 1-2 after 62 minutes of play. Aviklava Khatter charged in rather forcefully in the 68th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Aviklava Khatter the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Elementalists booed when Forest Hill was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 68 match minutes in a wonderful position. Aviklava Khatter didn't get a good kick on the ball. Sukhcharan Sukhija received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 70th minute. Avanipala Pujari tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 71st minute, Sukhcharan Sukhija had to be helped off the field due to a pulled leg muscle. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Anusrtasravas Shah during the 71st minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Dattatreya Kulkarni sent away a hard shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Anusrtasravas Shah was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 76 minutes had been played. After a rather tough play, Forest Hill's Anusrtasravas Shah got a free kick in the 76th minute. Ravider Birdi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 77th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Avanipala Pujari having to interfere. After 79 played minutes Elementalists got a freekick which was hit by Didyu Rudrappa. Dhanirama Theunuo struck a weak shot in the 80th minute. Sridhar Shetty didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Forest Hill. After 84 minutes, Dayaram Vurghese mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Forest Hill and the Elementalists players grew even worse after the yellow card. Dayaram Vurghese kicked well hit freekick during the 84th minute of the match. Jayakumar Multani hit a great freekick 88 minutes into the match. Jaspal Laungani didn't quite understand what happened when in the 90 minute of the game managed to get a great opportunity for a goal and then missed the goal by a feet. Ravider Birdi was extremely unlucky when he, in the 97th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. Forest Hill were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
