Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Anynaga Sahni took the kick off in the first half of the match. Devapuspa Malhotra struck a weak shot in the 4th minute. Vijaya Denzongpa didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Heston. Devapuspa Malhotra sent away a hard shot on goal in the 7th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 12th match minute, Heston was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Hiranyina Sekhon to maneuver through the defense. The audience was convinced that Hurditya Arakoni's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Amarnath Phom was relentless in the 14th minute of the game. Anynaga Sahni recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 23rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

In the 37th minute the ball was on its way in behind Heston's goalkeeper Amarnath Phom, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After some careless play in the Hunstanton United defense, Devapuspa Malhotra kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Vijaya Denzongpa. The Hunstanton United fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Vijaya Denzongpa should have stopped the shot. Hurditya Arakoni sent away a hard shot on goal in the 48th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Kamalanetra Pradhan was the one to do the kick off. Hurditya Arakoni scored 1-1 in the 53rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Amarnath Phom, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 57 minutes into the game, Heston's Anynaga Sahni nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Vijaya Denzongpa made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-1. Vijaya Denzongpa didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Devapuspa Malhotra went, in the 61st minute, to the upper right corner, 3-1 was the resulting score. Hunstanton United's Abhikama Gogia shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 67th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Amarnath Phom but with some difficulty. When Anynaga Sahni came up free with the goalie in the 70th minute, the Heston 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 Anynaga Sahni couldn't finish the play. After some fancy dribbling in the 76th minute, Hurditya Arakoni managed to get in a good position for a shot. Hunstanton United's supporters rose to their feet, but Hurditya Arakoni was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Amarnath Phom breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 80 minutes into the match, Hunstanton United's goal looked a bit too open when Devapuspa Malhotra came free, but Vijaya Denzongpa reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Hurditya Arakoni had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Kamalanetra Pradhan struck a weak shot in the 87th minute. Amarnath Phom didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Hunstanton United.

Kamalanetra Pradhan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 89th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
