Jagavanta Dwivedi recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 10th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 14 minutes into the match, Bridgnorth's Jitrindra Dubey sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Ajakara Mukhopadhyay narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After taking down the ball on Bridgnorth's corner Kratukarana Tendulkar fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Ajakara Mukhopadhyay quite easily take care of the ball. 28 minutes into the match, Ambu Khattri had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Abhipuspa Shah. Bridgnorth's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ambu Khattri was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. After 32 minutes, Jagavanta Dwivedi mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Bridgnorth and the Alde players grew even worse after the yellow card.

Ambu Khattri blasted a shot towards the goal in the 38th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Abhipuspa Shah having to make a save. Ambu Khattri received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 42nd minute. Abhipuspa Shah tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Alde's attentive Cirajusa Das managed to snatch the ball when Harsendu Ghai made a throw-in in the 47th minute of the game. After 48 played minutes, Alde's Siddarth Balil shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Abhipuspa Shah 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 Alde reached it. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Ambu Khattri made a kick off. In the 57th minute Jitrindra Dubey shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ajakara Mukhopadhyay saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Jagavanta Dwivedi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ajakara Mukhopadhyay came out of the goal in the 60th minute to try and stop a shot by Bridgnorth's Jitrindra Dubey. But to his dismay, Jitrindra Dubey quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. In the 70th minute, Jagavanta Dwivedi left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Bridgnorth fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-1. Jitrindra Dubey sent away a hard shot on goal in the 76th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.
