The match went down to the last raid as Siddharth Desai came in on a do-or-die with the scores tied at 19-19. His aggression saw the UP left corner lose his balance and go off-court, which meant that the Titans gained the point they needed and finally broke their losing streak.

However, in their eagerness, the Titans non-playing staff made a critical error as the team's assistant coach raced onto the match even though the referee had not blown the final whistle. As a result, a technical point was awarded to UP Yoddha, which meant that the match ended 20 points apiece, leaving teams and the audiences stunned.
A shaken Titans side asked for a review but it was to no avail as the original decision stood. With this rather comical ending, the Titans' wait for their first win of the season continues.
