Both the teams repeatedly attacked each other's goal but could not capitalise the chances that came their way. However, the Pakistani players scored the first goal when Iqbal, connecting a short pass from the left, dodged the rival defenders to score a spectacular field goal in the 30th minute. The half time score was 1-0 in favour of Mao College.

On resumption, the Pakistani college lads were again on the attack and consolidated their lead in the 45th minute through Ahmed.
