Led by Neha Mann from the middle of the pitch , Techtro started playing their natural gamestyle after the first 5 minutes and soon found their rythm as they pushed YGFC Khad back into their own half.

And soon enough Techtro were awarded a penalty when YGFC Khad midfielder , Riya handled a ball inside the D-Box in the 10th minute and got a straight red card for the offense.

Buoyed by the blunder from the Techtro defender, YGFC Khad produced an inspiring display and dominated the whole half being one player down but failed to find the all-crucial goal.

The top scorer Anjali and Sangam from TSUFC saw their shots brilliantly saved by Parveen Kumari, the YGFC Khad custodian who stood like a wall and led the backline of YGFC Khad for most of the match. However towards the end of the match Anjali broke the deadlock from a corner , which fell into the far post and a communucation breakdown between the YGFC Khad goalkeeper and Defenders resulted in Anjali finding the ball with a lot of space at her hand. She calmly placed the ball into the net as tge TSUFC dugout broke into wild celebration.
