The second half started with a brilliant start by KSA, as Sanchit completed his brace just four minutes into the second half. This was quickly followed by another goal from Pragnesh Solanki, who took advantage of a counter-attacking move to tap in KSA’s fourth goal.

Kenkre FC wasn’t about to give up just yet, and Siddharth Colaco scored in the 69th minute with a stunning shot from outside the box that nestled into the top right corner. The fightback continued, and just a few minutes later Silvester was tripped inside the box, resulting in a penalty for Kenkre. Siddharth stepped up to take the penalty and successfully converted, making it 4-2.

KSA’s dominance continued, and they sealed the victory with a fifth goal from substitute Sahil Sheikh in the first minute of injury time. With this win, KSA remains at the top of the league with 31 points from 11 games and a four-point lead over second-placed Atlanta FC.
