India Rush soon started getting into the rhythm and attacking more in search of an equalizer and were eventually rewarded at the stroke of halftime when Abhishek Chakraborty headed home the cross from Pradip Pal to make it 1-1. The second half saw some back and forth but no goals as the game ended 1-1 at the full-time whistle
