The ICL youngstars started the game with the normal pace when Poisur Gymkhana intruded their moves in the first segment of the game.
In the 13th minute of the game Harsh Walia was quite impressive with his tempting skills in the goalless post.

Poinsur Gymkhana missed a good chance to take the lead in the 20th minute of the game.

Akshay Ansunkar attempted an effortless free kick ten minutes before the end of the first phase of the match. The ball sailed just above the the Goalpost. The competitive first half ended with no score on the scoreboard.
The second half began with the same mode as both the teams surged themselves to score the first goal of the match. ICL Younstars controlled the game with their effective passing and formation. Poisur Gymkhana were also delightful with their moves but was not agile while striking the ball for the goal. The strikers of Poinsur constantly received several good chances to convert them for the first goal, but their players couldn’t pounce on them.
ICL Youngstars team was very quick and gazing while moving the ball. Their strong defence and firm midfield was effective enough to stop the Poisur Gymkhana from scoring.
