Spectators: 7784 (Terracing: 5850, Seating: 1794, VIP seats: 140) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Krtahasta Chima took the kick off in the first half of the match. Krtahasta Chima sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Ikroop Lal came out of the goal in the 9th minute to try and stop a shot by levelaen's Krtahasta Chima. But to his dismay, Krtahasta Chima quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. A collision led to Luv de Lasan getting a freekick after 12 minutes play. Krishnan Hira hit a great ball. 14 minutes into the match, Abhimoda Gowda notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Luv de Lasan's Ikroop Lal. Ikroop Lal was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Abhimoda Gowda took the ball and in the 24 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Ikroop Lal. Ikroop Lal dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-3. levelaen's Hema Denzongpa played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Abhranaga Kadam in the 26th minute of play. Ikroop Lal took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Abhimoda Gowda, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Abhimoda Gowda struck a weak shot in the 32nd minute. Ikroop Lal didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for levelaen. 34 minutes into the match, Luv de Lasan's goal looked a bit too open when Krtahasta Chima came free, but Ikroop Lal reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Krtahasta Chima sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 40th minute, Abhranaga Kadam sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and levelaen's Hema Denzongpa didn't even have to move. The audience thought a goal was coming when Sham Chakma got free with Hema Denzongpa in the 47th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Disappointed in the 0-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Abhranaga Kadam to strike the kick off in the second half. If Sham Chakma had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Abhranaga Kadam recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 55th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Sham Chakma might have been able to make a better finish in the 63rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Hema Denzongpa. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Sham Chakma ran back to his position shaking his head. Ikroop Lal made a fantastic save in the 66th minute, when Abhimoda Gowda sent off a good shot on target. After some fancy dribbling in the 70th minute, Krtahasta Chima managed to get in a good position for a shot. levelaen's supporters rose to their feet, but Krtahasta Chima was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ikroop Lal breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Abhihita Kaal kicked well hit freekick during the 71st minute of the match. When Luv de Lasan's Abhranaga Kadam in the 72nd minute got a chance for a shot 72nd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye levelaen's goalie prevented a goal. Abhihita Kaal was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 73 minutes into the match. After a rather tough play, levelaen's Abhihita Kaal got a free kick in the 73rd minute. The audience was convinced that Abhranaga Kadam's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Hema Denzongpa was relentless in the 75th minute of the game. An unexpectedly hard shot by Abhimoda Gowda in the 77th minute of play forced Luv de Lasan's goalkeeper Ikroop Lal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Sham Chakma recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 79th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Hasta Gupta during the 88th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of levelaen booed when Luv de Lasan was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 88 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hasta Gupta didn't get a good kick on the ball. 88 minutes into the match, levelaen's Abhimoda Gowda broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Hema Denzongpa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Abhranaga Kadam, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The levelaen supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing levelaen would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
