Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Sukhroop Bhattacharya started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. Haromohana Siamkhuma took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ditikara Chaudhari, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 6 minutes into the match, Citvata Toor had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Danavira Hothi. Ince's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Citvata Toor was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. After 14 played minutes, Ince's Nirmla Acharya shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Haromohana Siamkhuma came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Ince reached it. Raghuvir Gaikwad fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 21st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Danavira Hothi having to interfere. In the 25thth minute of the game Sukhroop Bhattacharya who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Ince's Danavira Hothi was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball.

After some fancy dribbling in the 35th minute, Anuhrada Choudhary managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Haromohana Siamkhuma breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Dhyanayogi Yeddyurappa sent away a hard shot on goal in the 43rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 46 minutes into the match, Stockwell AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Ditikara Chaudhari came free, but Haromohana Siamkhuma reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-1 at half-time.

Arvinder Rudrappa took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 95th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Danavira Hothi.
