Spectators: 6766 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1766, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Sivarasa Parmar started the match with the kick off. In the 3rdth minute of the game Badrinath Dube who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Arundel's Amama Kals was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. If Damya D'Mello had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 11th minute Battaprayaga Bedi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Amama Kals saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Badrinath Dube had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 18th minute the ball was on its way in behind Arundel's goalkeeper Amama Kals, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Arundel's Jaywant Dutt suffered a concussion after 25 minutes and had to leave the field. When Damya D'Mello came up free with the goalie in the 26th minute, the Arundel 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 Damya D'Mello couldn't finish the play. When Muralidhara Rajput fell near the penalty area in the 27th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Bishops Stortford's protests and gave Muralidhara Rajput a yellow card for diving instead. Damya D'Mello fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 40th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Anadhrishya Gurung having to interfere. Barkha Khan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Anadhrishya Gurung having to interfere. Bishops Stortford's Badrinath Dube got a good chance for a goal in the 44th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

55 minutes had been played when some careless play by Arundel's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Ajata Das was slow to take the kick. During this time Bishops Stortford's players had a chance to rest. Anadhrishya Gurung showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Damya D'Mello, who was totally free with the ball in the 62nd minute. In the 66th minute, Damya D'Mello hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Arundel's Amama Kals proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 70th minute of the match, managed to save Arundel from getting a goal against them. Badrinath Dube sent away a hard shot on goal in the 76th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
