STADIUM DE GWWAHATI
Spectators: 7050 (Terracing: 5800, Seating: 1200, VIP seats: 50) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Kanksita Kalirai kicked off to start the match. 8 minutes into the match, East Tilbury's Annadeva Ngullie broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Kanksita Kalirai was extremely unlucky when he, in the 15th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. Kanksita Kalirai scored 1-0 in the 15th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Balakunda Lianzuala, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kanthamani Bain in the 27th minute of play forced AS GUWAHATI's goalkeeper Apiguna Thind to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. East Tilbury's Balakunda Lianzuala proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 29th minute of the match, managed to save East Tilbury from getting a goal against them. Ijyasila Mundra sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After a rather tough play, East Tilbury's Renu Irani got a free kick in the 39th minute. Gopal Chahil was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 40th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. After 42 minutes, Jasdave Banerjee mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the East Tilbury and the AS GUWAHATI players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, East Tilbury's Jasdave Banerjee got a free kick in the 42nd minute.

The wind increased when Ijyasila Mundra made the kick off in the second half. When Jvalanmani Dalvi came up free with the goalie in the 60th minute, the AS GUWAHATI 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 Jvalanmani Dalvi couldn't finish the play. Hemanya Gopalkrishnan struck a weak shot in the 64th minute. Balakunda Lianzuala didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for AS GUWAHATI. Jvalanmani Dalvi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 66th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 68th minute Kanksita Kalirai shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Balakunda Lianzuala saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 70th minute, Ijyasila Mundra reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Apiguna Thind. The goal made the score 1-1. When Kanthamani Bain came up free with the goalie in the 74th minute, the East Tilbury 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 Kanthamani Bain couldn't finish the play. Kanksita Kalirai hit a great freekick 76 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jvalanmani Dalvi in the 80th minute of play forced East Tilbury's goalkeeper Balakunda Lianzuala to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ijyasila Mundra fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 85th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Apiguna Thind having to interfere. The supporters of AS GUWAHATI booed when East Tilbury was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 88 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ijyasila Mundra didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Kanksita Kalirai had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 93 minutes, Kanksita Kalirai managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. AS GUWAHATI's supporters crossed their fingers, but Kanksita Kalirai was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Jvalanmani Dalvi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 94th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Balakunda Lianzuala having to interfere. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
