Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Campakaprabhu Kapani made the kick off which started today's match. The supporters of Docklands City booed when Old Bexley was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. Deochand Arora didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 5th minute, Campakaprabhu Kapani got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Jagannath Siddhu hit a great freekick 8 minutes into the match. Basker Hira received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 13th minute. Drdhahanu Vishveshwara tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Dahana Iyer was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 15th minute. Docklands City's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Dahana Iyer took the ball and in the 23 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Jatinder Rai. Jatinder Rai dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. 26 minutes into the match, Basker Hira notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Docklands City's Drdhahanu Vishveshwara. Drdhahanu Vishveshwara was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 33 minutes into the match, Docklands City's goal looked a bit too open when Basker Hira came free, but Drdhahanu Vishveshwara reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Karanam Shah fell near the penalty area in the 39th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Docklands City's protests and gave Karanam Shah a yellow card for diving instead. After 39 played minutes Docklands City got a freekick which was hit by Karanam Shah. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Raghavachary Chohan during the 40th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card.

The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 2-1.

When Basker Hira came up free with the goalie in the 53rd minute, the Old Bexley fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Basker Hira couldn't finish the play.
