Despite ICL’s goalkeeper making key saves and thwarting subsequent attempts, Young Guns kept the pressure on. The woodwork denied them once, and a diving save from Danzil prevented a third goal momentarily.

Laksh’s Late Clincher:
In the dying minutes, Young Guns sealed the win definitively. Hemang Jadhav, once again instrumental, embarked on a dazzling run down the left, delivering a low ball into the box for Laksh Lalchandani. Despite defensive pressure, Laksh adeptly turned, evading his marker, and unleashed a shot past the keeper to make it 3-0.
