But BYC equalised just ten minutes later through a penalty. Youdha Shahi's challenge on Bimal Rana inside the box awarded the home side a penalty. And Dona Thapa stepped up to convert the spot-kick and brought the scoreline to 1-1. 

Army looked to be on the frontfoot throughout the match and they went in front at the very start of second half. Kamal Bahadur Thapa's left foot strike at Ashok Baral's near-post went in and Army took the lead for the second time in the match.

Just minutes later, Army were awarded a penalty after Ashok Baral fouled Santosh KC. But Dinesh Henjan skied the penalty and threw away the chance to double the lead.

Army will take away fifteen lakh rupees with their title win. Runners-up Bijay Youth Club had to settle for ten lakh rupees.
