A miss kick from the Sonu the number 10 of AU Rajasthan FC B ended in an assist which Ruchir gladly converted.

It was almost 3-0 before the half as Bhanupratap broke free only to see his shot saved by the Ajmer keeper. After the first 45 the sides switched sides and it also looked as Ajmer had switched their plans. Just 2 minutes after the break, Kuldeep from Ajmer FC made a delightful chip from almost 30 yards out and the keeper was left helpless as the ball ended in the back of the net. The game switched from one end to another, but a careless handball from AU Rajasthan FC centre back inside the D area helped Ajmer FC score from the Spot in the 86th minute. Ritik converted his second spot kick from as many games and thus leveling the scoreline at 2-2.
