A brace from William Opoku Asiedu lifts Minerva Punjab FC to the top of the I-League standings in a well-contested contest. The youngsters of Indian Arrows put in a spirited showing on the evening as they didn't meekly surrender to the visibly physical side that the Punjabis fielded.
90' - Four minutes of added time has displayed by the fourth official as the score stands 2-0 in favor of the Punjab side at the end of regulation period.
83' - GOAL!! Minerva Punjab doubles their lead as William grabs his brace after a cutback from the Bhutanese winger Chencho; who did well on the left side to slot in a ball for the striker who did no mistake in finishing the chance.
78' - SO CLOSE!!!! William almost manages to double the lead as he is away on a goal and manages to have a open goal to shoot but his shot brushes the right post and goes out. Unlucky for the away side.
74' - Rahul tries to break on the counter but comes up against the giant figure of Dano in the defense and the ball loops in front of Rahim Ali who lets go with a shot that goes incredibly wayward.
72' - CHANCE!!! A good run by Edmund on the left wing and he puts in a cross for the incoming Rahul but the delivery is a bit too high for the striker and is cleared by the away defence for a corner.
70' - Minerva have been playing a high line of defense as the Arrows try to catch them through their speed. Sukhdev Singh has gone down in what looks like a cramp as the physio attends to him.
63' - Arrows have slowly begun to take an attacking intent to their game as they have constantly pressed on the Minerva goal with attacks from the right side using the pace of Boris Singh well.
60' - Hour mark has reached in the game as Minerva still lead thanks to the early strike by William. The Arrows have played well in the second half and managed to trouble the visitors on a couple of occasions and not let them overpower.
57 ' - Indirect free-kick for the Arrows as Dagar handles the ball after an intentional back-pass as the ref rules in favor of the youngsters. Good choice for the young lads to equalize.
50' - Kamalpreet tries to find Chencho on the left side of the box but Borish Singh defends well and the Bhutanese winger loses the ball and it goes out for a goal-kick.
46' - A good move from the Minerva side as Girik Khosla put Bei through on the right but his cross was dealt with well by Stalin and cleared to safety.
