In the first half of the match, YNC unleashed a full-scale offensive but were unable to breach the defence line of the USC and remained goalless till lemon break.
Entering the second half, YNC attempted to penetrate the defence line of USC but was unsuccessful. Nevertheless, YNC's persistence paid off when the forward players made a breakthrough around 20th minute later and scored the first goal.
After netting the goal the USC defensive tactics changed into a vigorous counter-attack. However, the YBC defence proved too strong.
