South Ockendon's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Faran Hannan was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. After recieving a nice pass, Pakistan Navy's Atif Rana tried to score from far away in the 15th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Farooq Saqib sent away a hard shot on goal in the 19th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 22 minutes into the game, Faran Hannan was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Pakistan Navy's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave South Ockendon the free kick. In the 24th minute, South Ockendon's Ali Bilawal seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Ali Bilawal the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of South Ockendon protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Ali Bilawal had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. After 24 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for South Ockendon! Muhammad Danish made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Faran Hannan in the 32nd minute of play. Muhammad Danish showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Faran Hannan in the 34th minute of the match. Pakistan Navy's Khurram Fida quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Hamid Chaudary, made in the 35th minute of the game. After 39 minutes of play, Pakistan Navy's Faran Hannan made it 0-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Muhammad Danish was left in no man's land by his defense there!
After a rather tough play, Pakistan Navy's Hamid Khalid got a free kick in the 50th minute. Pakistan Navy's attentive Khurram Fida managed to snatch the ball when Hamid Chaudary made a throw-in in the 53rd minute of the game. South Ockendon's Muhammad Danish played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Khurram Fida in the 54th minute of play. 61 minutes into the match, Pakistan Navy's Faran Hannan sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Muhammad Danish narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 64 minutes had been played when some careless play by South Ockendon's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Atif Rana was slow to take the kick. During this time Pakistan Navy's players had a chance to rest. The corner led Pakistan Navy's Faran Hannan to a score. 0-4 in the 65th minute. Faran Hannan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 68th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 68th minute Faran Hannan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Muhammad Danish saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 73 played minutes Pakistan Navy got a freekick which was hit by Faran Hannan. Atif Rana hit a great freekick 74 minutes into the match. Talha Afzal received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 76th minute. Khalid Qamar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. A sloppy throw-in by Hamid Chaudary in the 78th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Pakistan Navy's Razi Khan. Talha Afzal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 82nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Faran Hannan blasted a shot towards the goal in the 84th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Muhammad Danish having to make a save. Khalid Qamar came out of the goal in the 89th minute to try and stop a shot by South Ockendon's Talha Afzal. But to his dismay, Talha Afzal quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-4. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Pakistan Navy eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
