Rafiq Jaffar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 9 minutes into the match, MW-KEKUI's goal looked a bit too open when Faran Hannan came free, but Rafiq Jaffar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Saeed Imtiaz made in the 11th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Usman Shayan immediately put the ball in play.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Mudasser Arslan to strike the kick off in the second half. The supporters of MW-KEKUI booed when Pakistan Navy was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 52 match minutes in a wonderful position. Saeed Moeez didn't get a good kick on the ball. Waqas Mannan took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 53rd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Khalid Qamar. Pakistan Navy's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Farooq Saqib sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Razi Khan ran back to his position shaking his head. When Razi Khan came up free with the goalie in the 58th minute, the Pakistan Navy 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 Razi Khan couldn't finish the play.

Pakistan Navy played a much better game than MW-KEKUI and deserved their victory. The MW-KEKUI players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
