Razi Waqas who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 17thth minute tested the skills of Atif Bhatti when he managed to save the team from getting behind. The crowd rose to their feet as Southwark's Razi Waqas slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Atif Bhatti. That made the score 2-0 after 18 minutes of play. After a rather tough play, Worsley's Jahangir Gilani got a free kick in the 21st minute. The long shot by Adam Kurd in the 22nd minute really tested Atif Bhatti's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. The supporters of Worsley booed when Southwark was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 23 match minutes in a wonderful position. Razzaq Zubair didn't get a good kick on the ball. Razi Waqas recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 27th 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 29th minute, Usman Qalander managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Ali Fazil 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.

In the 55th minute, Niaz Iqbal made a precise shot to the right of Atif Bhatti. Worsley's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 3-0. Ali Fazil in the 58thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Mir Barlas, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Usman Qalander was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 60th minute. Worsley's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. A hard shot 60 in the game by Ali Fazil from a close distance when the talented Mir Barlas managed to make a qualified save. Southwark's players were relieved. After 61 minutes, Waqas Jamal mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Worsley and the Southwark players grew even worse after the yellow card.

Razi Waqas fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Atif Bhatti having to interfere. Razi Waqas scored 4-0 in the 76th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Atif Bhatti, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. With a little luck, Southwark's Mir Barlas got control of the ball when Ali Fazil tried to sneak it across the goal line. A collision led to Southwark getting a freekick after 82 minutes play. Abdullah Sadiqqi hit a great ball. After a rather tough play, Southwark's Arshad Fazil got a free kick in the 97th minute. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Southwark fans cheered their team off the field, for while Worsley had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
