After 11 played minutes Radlett got a freekick which was hit by Azhar Sharif. After 12 played minutes, Barton FC's Ke Fan Li shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Naeem Gilani came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Barton FC reached it. Rahman Musharraf hit a great freekick 14 minutes into the match. After a rather tough play, Barton FC's Billy Stössel got a free kick in the 16th minute. After some careless play in the Barton FC defense, Usman Qamar kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Ahmad Ahsan.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Erdi Kasapoglou was the one to do the kick off. Azhar Sharif could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 53rd minute of the match, but Ahmad Ahsan made a huge save. Malik Shamshad's late challenge caught a Barton FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Malik Shamshad helped the player get up and apologised. 60 minutes into the match, Erdi Kasapoglou had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Naeem Gilani. Radlett's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Erdi Kasapoglou was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. The crowd rose to their feet as Radlett's Abdullah Barlas slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Ahmad Ahsan. That made the score 1-3 after 65 minutes of play.
