Captain Vanlalpeka Guite opened the scoring for India. Quite calmly slotted a cross from the right. The shot left the Maldives custodian helpless.

Coming from the lemon break, both sides make a considerable amount of changes. Bibiano Fernandes brings in Pheonix Oinam. Phoenix proves to be a real beneficial change for the Blue Colts. Aman assisted by Pheonix found the third goal for India at the stroke of an hour.

Bobby was the next one to get on the score. He converted an awarded spot-kick with ease. Pheonix finally found himself on the sheet scoring the final goal for India in the 71st minute. India could have been up by more margin. However, their lack of conversion prevented them. The defense and the goalkeeper were hardly tested but they maintained their level throughout the game.
