In the 18th minute, two forwards of Tajshree Hope and Kingsley were cautioned for rough tactics. Bhivgade was once again unlucky as he missed a golden chance of Saquib Ansari's pass. The bad luck continued for Ashwamedh as this time Uche missed the opportunity. Finally in the 30th minute, Ashwamedh broke the deadlock.Tajshree Indians goalkeeper Tauseef Ansari's blunder helped Ashwamedh to take the lead. Ansari failed to collect the shot of Ashwamedh midfielder Anirban Paul and the ball just cross the goalline.
After the goal, both the teams geared up and in process Rizwan's 30-yard shot dashed against a cross bar. With just tow minutes remaining for the break, Uche was once again in action but this time also he missed the open net by a whisker.
