Tiverton Park
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Ayasmaya Hira made the kick off and thus started the match. In the 7th minute Arul Sehgal shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Akaljot Khatter saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 13th minute, Brahmaprakasa Sachdeva 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. The supporters of Tiverton booed when Coalville was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 20 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ayasmaya Hira didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Arul Sehgal came up free with the goalie in the 24th minute, the Tiverton 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 Arul Sehgal couldn't finish the play. In the 25th minute the ball was on its way in behind Coalville's goalkeeper Akaljot Khatter, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Brahmaprakasa Sachdeva fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 27th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kamaljeet Rai having to interfere. In the 36th minute, Arul Sehgal reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Akaljot Khatter. The goal made the score 1-0. Cariman Mundra's late challenge caught a Coalville's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Cariman Mundra helped the player get up and apologised. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 1-0.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Arul Sehgal to strike the kick off in the second half. Rana Kulkarni kicked well hit freekick during the 53rd minute of the match. Akaljot Khatter stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Teja Pinto's shot from short distance in the 56th minute. Kamaljeet Rai showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ayasmaya Hira in the 61st minute of the match. If Teja Pinto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 75 minutes into the match, Coalville's goal looked a bit too open when Arul Sehgal came free, but Akaljot Khatter reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 78th minute, Ayasmaya Hira 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. If Ayasmaya Hira had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 82nd minute, Ayasmaya Hira managed to get in a good position for a shot. Coalville's supporters rose to their feet, but Ayasmaya Hira was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Kamaljeet Rai breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Brahmaprakasa Sachdevas short, quick shot in the 84thth minute got Kamaljeet Rai to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. A collision led to Tiverton getting a freekick after 85 minutes play. Cariman Mundra hit a great ball. After having played for 88 minutes, Brahmaprakasa Sachdeva managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Coalville's supporters crossed their fingers, but Brahmaprakasa Sachdeva was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Akhilatman Mittal got his second yellow card in the match during the 93rd minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. Akaljot Khatter showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Abhyavarsini Virdee, who was totally free with the ball in the 95th minute. Teja Pinto recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 97th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.
