Bharat Mishra from Gen Nutties FC was the first one to score a goal in the first half and subsequently uplifting his teammates’ spirits.

But soon in the second half Virendra the Dhurandar from Dhurandar FC managed to score a goal, which lead to a neck to neck competition till the end. This match ended as a draw but it still kept the spectators hooked as the next thing to follow were the dreaded penalty shootouts.

Next match in line was between Leave my Arselona FC and Super S*x Bombs captained by Ishaan Saran and Rishab Bhatt respectively and was refereed by Amanpreet Singh. Both teams with such interesting names, made the match equally interesting with every passing second. Rishab Bhatt, the golden boy of SSBFC, opened his team’s account by scoring a goal in the first half. Golden boy managed to score yet another, and the audience’s favourite goal of the day few minutes after the first one. By the end of the first half, LMAFC were still to score a goal. The odds in the second half seemed to favour the Super S*x Bombs as Parth Chopra from the team scored two more goals consecutively within a gap of few minutes, therefore making the total score four goals against none from LMAFC.
