Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Sohail Fawad started the match with the kick off. 15 minutes into the game, Usman Paracha was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Moreton FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Shaheen the free kick. After 15 played minutes Moreton FC got a freekick which was hit by Usman Paracha. After a defensive mix-up in Shaheen's zone, Ishtiaq Imtiaz stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Suleman Musharraf came out of the goal and Ishtiaq Imtiaz tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When the match clock showed 26 minutes, the score became 1-1 when Usman Paracha sped through Shaheen's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Suleman Musharraf. 32 minutes into the game, Yusaf Usmani was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

Abdullah Eitazaz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 88th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
