HAMMER Park
Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Dario Caton started the match with the kick off. HAMMER's Caruhasan Ghoshal played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Sergio Gelmiro in the 9th minute of play. After 10 played minutes Adalwolf FC got a freekick which was hit by Drstasara Arakoni. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ilaspati Marathe in the 12th minute of play forced HAMMER's goalkeeper Caruhasan Ghoshal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 14th minute, HAMMER's Avijnatagati Dambria seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Avijnatagati Dambria the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of HAMMER protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Avijnatagati Dambria had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. After 13 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for HAMMER! Sobha Mandal fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Dandekar Chettri having to interfere. 23 minutes into the game, Sridhar Sharma was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. HAMMER's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Adalwolf FC the free kick. After a rather tough play, HAMMER's Sridhar Sharma got a free kick in the 23rd minute. Caruhasan Ghoshal showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ilaspati Marathe in the 25th minute of the match. In the 26th minute, Anasin Phom hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

Caruhasan Ghoshal made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-2. 35 minutes into the match, Sobha Mandal notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Adalwolf FC's Dandekar Chettri. Dandekar Chettri was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Sobha Mandal received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 40th minute. Dandekar Chettri tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 42nd minute, Adalwolf FC's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Devila Biswas fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. In the 43rd minute Ilaspati Marathe shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Caruhasan Ghoshal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The wind increased when Sobha Mandal made the kick off in the second half. Dandekar Chettri showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Paramjit Jaggi in the 52nd minute of the match. After 53 played minutes Adalwolf FC got a freekick which was hit by Drstasara Arakoni. Paramjit Jaggi scored 2-2 in the 56th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Dandekar Chettri, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Sobha Mandal recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 64th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 66th minute the ball was on its way in behind Adalwolf FC's goalkeeper Dandekar Chettri, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Atamas Dambria made a great header on HAMMER's corner, it was just that Adalwolf FC's Dandekar Chettri managed to reach the ball for a save. Dario Caton kicked well hit freekick during the 68th minute of the match. Dario Caton received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Caruhasan Ghoshal came out and tried to block the shot, but Dario Caton slotted it home off the left post making it 2-3 in the 70th minute. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Sobha Mandal in the 77th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Dandekar Chettri saved Adalwolf FC from getting behind. Caruhasan Ghoshal made a fantastic save in the 80th minute, when Abhra Verma sent off a good shot on target. 87 minutes into the match, HAMMER's goalkeeper Caruhasan Ghoshal had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Epifanio Demesio. With a little luck, HAMMER's Caruhasan Ghoshal got control of the ball when Dario Caton tried to sneak it across the goal line. Thanks to some nice moves Sergio Gelmiro could shoot a difficult shot in the 90th minute, which Caruhasan Ghoshal however easily saved by the left post. 93 minutes into the game, Paramjit Jaggi cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-4.
