After a relatively quiet first half, the match was split wide open in the send. Both teams created a number of goalscoring chances. NEUFC, in particular, should have scored at least one. Striker Danilo Cezario found himself completely unmarked on two occasions in the second half, but he was thwarted by some intelligent defending from Subrata Pal.

To further add spice, the referee decided to questionably brandish a red card to Jamshedpur's Andrey Bikey for a high foot on Restrepo. On further observation, it was clear there was no contact whatsoever. That red card resulted in an end-to-end encounter for the final fifteen minutes of the match.
