Playing on the offensive from the opening whistle itself, Kalighat Club players kept up constant pressure on ONGC throughout the first half. Soon in the first half, the referee offered a penalty shot to Kalighat for a foul in the ONGC D-box which was successfully converted by Pintu Bakshi and Kalighat finished the first half ahead 1-0.
In the second half, ONGC players bounced back, putting pressure on their opponents. In the 62nd minute, ONGC captain Fanai Lalmuampuia turned a cross from his teammate into the equalizer with a wonderful heading. Again in the 80th minute, Parwinder Singh netted the direct free-kick near the Kalighat D-box into the winning goal for ONGC.
With this 2-1 win, the ONGC has advanced to the second round of the tournament while Kalighat Club is returning home.
On Saturday, Nepal National Youth Team will take on Eastern Railways at 2 PM.
