Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) After 4 played minutes, Wellesbourne's Kamil Shahrukh shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Hanif Isfahan came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Wellesbourne reached it. If Moazzam Rehman had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Zafar ur-Rehamn fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mudasser Qureshi having to interfere. In the 18th minute, Moazzam Rehman left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Wellesbourne fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. 21 minutes into the match, Wellesbourne's goal looked a bit too open when Talha Junaid came free, but Mudasser Qureshi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Shoaib Shaheed fell near the penalty area in the 25th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ainsdale's protests and gave Shoaib Shaheed a yellow card for diving instead. After a defensive mix-up in Ainsdale's zone, Moazzam Rehman stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Hanif Isfahan came out of the goal and Moazzam Rehman tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ainsdale's Hanif Isfahan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Sufyan Shayan in the 28th minute of play. Hanif Isfahan showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Sufyan Shayan in the 31st minute of the match. The audience was convinced that Zafar ur-Rehamn's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Mudasser Qureshi was relentless in the 44th minute of the game. Wellesbourne's Mudasser Qureshi proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 46th minute of the match, managed to save Wellesbourne from getting a goal against them.

Zafar ur-Rehamn received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 61st minute. Mudasser Qureshi tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After having played for 65 minutes, Kamil Shahrukh managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Wellesbourne's supporters crossed their fingers, but Kamil Shahrukh was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. A collision led to Ainsdale getting a freekick after 67 minutes play. Hanif Mushtaq hit a great ball.

The supporters of Wellesbourne booed when Ainsdale was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 76 match minutes in a wonderful position. Shoaib Shaheed didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 85 minutes Ainsdale's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Kamil Shahrukh who took care of the corner kick. After taking down the ball on Wellesbourne's corner Moazzam Rehman fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Hanif Isfahan quite easily take care of the ball. Sufyan Shayan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 87th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Hanif Isfahan was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Sufyan Shayan showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 0-3 in the 90 minute of play. Aftab Meman charged in rather forcefully in the 93rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down.
