Chances were being created every now and then a glorious opportunity to open the scoring for Meghe United arrived when Iqbal Ahmed crossed the ball from the right flank inside the box in the 25th minute and Hamidullah failed to hit the target with a header from 10 yards. But Aboo Bakar made amends for the lost chance in the 27th minute as he went past three defenders on the right edge of the box and drilled a strong left footed shot low into the bottom corner. Play was interrupted for a while as some of the floodlights went off, but as soon as the match resumed Meghe United doubled their lead in the added minutes of the first half, again through the Nigerian man as he finished well from a low cross by Rahul Bante from the right wing.
The Tajshree Indians tried to put up a fight in the second half and also employed some brave changes by substituting attackers for defenders. But after not creating enough chances for themselves in the first 15 minutes of the half, it was all uphill taks for them . Meghe United defenders were solid and denied their opposition any chance to score. The final whistle blew with no goals scored in the second half and a comfortable victory for Meghe United in the end.
