Full time: Friends Club 1-1 Three Star Club

A corner in the dying minutes for Friends. Surely the last chance of the match. And the final whistle is blown just after the ball is played in.

Mikchhen couldn't guide the ball in from the Free Kick. Rahul Yadav is not in any hurry to take the goal kick.

Friends bring in Asim Bhusal in place of Yadu Silwal. A defensive change from the reds.

Three Star Club are going all on for the winner and Friends are looking shaky at the back.

GOAL LINE CLEARANCE from Anthony Paul of Friends. Rahul Yadav was off his line and Ritik Khadka chipped it over him only to be headed over the bar by Anthony. Friends look rattled with TSC attacks.

GOAL. Mikchhen Tamang equalises fot TSC. Ritik's cross from the right rebounded and fell for Mikchhen who then blasted the ball at the back of the net.

Looked like a foul from Sanjok Rai but it's been given against him on Prakash Budathoki for a shirt pull. The Stars forward looks frustrated with the decision.

Priso has tried going long everytime he collects the ball. Has been a failed strategy up until now with nobody getting to the end of his long balls.

A booking for Hemanta Thapa Magar. A rather clumsy challenge from the Stars midfielder.

The score remains 1-0 for the men in red. Three Star are getting the ball rolling and have tried to trouble the Friends backline but with no real threat just yet.

GOAL! Nathaniel Garcia scores for Friends.  A brilliant cross in from Prakash Budathoki from left hand side that's headed home by Garcia.
