Kalaafaanu started the game by letting Huravee know of their intentions as they scored six minutes into the game, courtesy of Ahmed Raaif Naseem. That was the only goal of that half despite Kalaafaanu’s dominant display. The second half began with the same intense play from Kalaafaanu as they held the ball and pressurized the Huravee defense in various ways. They found their second goal in the 44^th minute, scored again by Ahmed Raaid Naseem. Six minutes later Agsan Ahmed Naseem scored the last goal which Huravee would concede in the tournament.

The game that followed was a heated affair as both teams were keen on getting a win to go forward in the tournament. Imaduddin started the game with pure dominance as they struck three minutes in, in the form of Mohamed Shaffan Abdul Muhthalib. However, Rehendhi rose back to their feet and gave a good fight after the goal. The second half began with a much more improved Rehendhi side and that saw Aayan Mohamed score the equalizer in the 45^th minute. The game went on to draw after that goal.
