However, Mumbai Knights responded quickly, equalizing in the 13th minute through a debut goal from Rohit KS, who headed in a cross from the right flank.
The rest of the first half was closely contested, with both teams battling for control of the match. The match was a physical one, with the referee, Santu Sanfui, handing out 5 yellow cards throughout the game.
In the second half, the Mumbai Knights continued to press forward and were ultimately able to secure the victory with a second goal from Rohit KS in the 75th minute. PIFA keeper Ummed Nat got a hand to the ball, but was unable to stop it from finding the back of the net.
Overall, the Mumbai Knights were the stronger team on the day, securing a 2-1 victory over PIFA FC. Rohit KS was named the player of the match for his impressive performance.
