A long throw into the penalty area confused the FC Raengdai defence before the defence managed to clear the danger. FC Raengdai eventually made their bright start to the second half count by taking the lead in the 58th minute. As Indian Navy pushed numbers forward in search of an equaliser, defensive lapses began to creep into their game. However, FC Raengdai defended resolutely, with the backline standing firm to repel the aerial threat and protect their goalkeeper. FC Raengdai had a golden opportunity to put the result beyond doubt in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
