Chembur went close to breaking their opponent when Elton’s grounded shot forced a good saved from the keeper, ensuring Bombay Gymkhana maintained their clean sheet.

With Chembur United coming out in full force to attack in the second half, Bombay Gymkhana adopted a more defensive approach, focusing on protecting their lead. Though they made occasional attempts on the opponent post, their primary focus was on maintaining their defensive solidity.

Chembur United, on the other hand, pushed forward in search of goals, with Abujafar coming close to scoring with a well-placed cross shot from the left flank. However, Bombay Gymkhana’s resolute defense held firm, denying Chembur United any opportunity to claw their way back into the game.

As the final whistle blew, Bombay Gymkhana emerged victorious with a commanding 3-0 scoreline. Pallon Shroff’s remarkable hat-trick propelled his team to a memorable win, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead.
