After 4 minutes of play, Tollygunge Agragami's Harmandar Bajwa made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

In a very dangerous position, a player in Lymm AFC fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 8th minute. Penalty!
