NEROCA FC battled hard after conceding the penalty goal and were rewarded within a space of four minutes. Tondonba Singh sent in a long ball from the defence for Felix Chidi but the clearance was fumbled up by Bagan skipper Kinshuk Debnath as he fell in an attempt to make an overhead kick clearance and Chidi pounced. The striker ran into the box and finished well to put the home side in the lead again.

Mohun Bagan kept the pressure in the midfield intact and did not let NEROCA take control of the tempo of the game. A cross from the right by Arijit Bagui into the box found the run of Cameron Watson beating the offside trap. Watson was about to finish the chance but Dipanda Dicka rushed in to tap it in for a simple goal. The striker doubled his tally in the match maintaining his run at the top of the scorer's standings.
