Neroca managed to get 12 shots on the goal in contrast to just 6 from Minerva. This was largely due to the excellent wing play at both the right and left throughout the course of the game. Saran Singh and Aryn Williams at the centre of the park played Malem and Katsumi through on the wings on numerous occasions allowing several crosses from the right and the left into danger zone troubling the Minerva Punjab defence regularly.

The wingers Katsumi Yusa and Malemngamba Meitei also got themselves into the box with shooting opportunities but failed to score. Felix and Subhash also missed a good number of sitters thus wasting all the chances created by the wing-play.

The full-backs Sebastian and Ashok Singh also moved up the pitch to assist the Wingers and the Midfield to maneuver the wing-play but could not really crack open the Minerva Punjab defence as the game ended goalless.
