Both teams started the second half with more attacking options as Tigers captain Mona came forward to operate from the mid-field to make long shots within the D-box of the Fighters. However, this created counter-attack opportunities from the Fighters as well. In one of their attempts, Fighter’s Mukim created a great chance but his placing shot from inside the D-box hit the right side of the post. On the other side, Tiger’s created some good chances through their star players, Rizwan and Ayman. Finally, the break-through came after the 10 minute break of the 2nd half, when Fighter’s playmaker Shams ran through multiple defenders and made a cross within the D-box. Wasi made no mistake this time to put the ball on the left top corner of the post to make it 1-0. Fighter’s celebrations, however, could not last long though as Tigers counter attacked within 5 minutes and equalized through a brilliant through pass from Istiaque. Tiger’s prolific striker Rizwan controlled the ball well in the D-box and put it on the net to make it 1-1. 

 

At this point, defenders from both the teams were pushing hard to get the match winning goal. Fighters’ defense wall created by Ali, Sakif, Jewel, and Momin tackled several counter-attacks by the opposition offense line formed by Moinul, Ayman, Rizwan, and Istiaque. Tigers also pushed their captain Mona almost to the attacking half. Tigers’ defenders – the young guns Sadi, Shahid and the experienced campaigners Mosi and Deeder were instrumental in neutralizing the attacks made by the Fighters. However, Fighters continued to attack using their offense line formed by Shams, Sabiq and Sid. In no time, Fighters found the winning goal – this time Sid, getting a cross from Shams, putting it to the net in the second attempt after getting a rebound from the keeper. Fighters went ahead by 2-1.
