Otterham Park
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Jalambara Khalsa kicked off to start the match. In the 4thth minute of the game Jalambara Khalsa who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Clanfield's Adesa Sarang was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 6 minutes into the match, Otterham City's goal looked a bit too open when Aseem Dosanjh came free, but Raghava Jethani reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Gagan Lapang had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Clanfield's Adesa Sarang played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jalambara Khalsa in the 19th minute of play. After 24 played minutes Clanfield got a freekick which was hit by Aseem Dosanjh. Aseem Dosanjh sent away a hard shot on goal in the 29th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Aseem Dosanjh had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 32nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Raghava Jethani took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Aseem Dosanjh, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Aseem Dosanjh came up free with the goalie in the 37th minute, the Clanfield 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 Aseem Dosanjh couldn't finish the play. Aseem Dosanjh recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 44th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 46 minutes into the game, one of Clanfield:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. The goalkeeper, Adesa Sarang, was totally fooled by Otterham City's Kamarajan Deol, who 48 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side.

With a couple of smart ball manuevers Gagan Lapang in the 55th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Adesa Sarang saved Clanfield from getting behind. Aseem Dosanjh received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 56th minute. Raghava Jethani tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 58th minute, Aseem Dosanjh 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. 67 minutes into the game, Ishwaran Krishnan was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Clanfield's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Otterham City the free kick. After 76 minutes of play, Otterham City's Gagan Lapang made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Adesa Sarang was left in no man's land by his defense there! Ishwaran Krishnan hit a great freekick 80 minutes into the match. Jalambara Khalsa charged in rather forcefully in the 81st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Jalambara Khalsa the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Clanfield booed when Otterham City was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 81 match minutes in a wonderful position. Jalambara Khalsa didn't get a good kick on the ball. Janapadin Brar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 84th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Raghava Jethani having to interfere. When Clanfield's Aseem Dosanjh in the 86th minute got a chance for a shot 86th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Otterham City's goalie prevented a goal. In the 90th minute, Janapadin Brar made a precise shot to the right of Raghava Jethani. Otterham City's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-2. Khusila Uppal hit a great freekick 93 minutes into the match.
