Playing their last home game of the season, Mohammedan SC began the game confidently with an attacking mindset.

It only took Mohammedan SC three minutes to break the deadlock when Moga headed home off a rebound of Ajay�s shot to put the hosts ahead.

The early lead gave Mohammedan SC a boost in confidence and they attacked the Neroca FC goal ferociously going close on a few occasions.

Thereafter, Mohammedan SC continued to put pressure on the Neroca FC defense holding midfield superiority.

A few good chances fell for Faiaz and Imran Khan but they lacked the finishing touch in the final third as the scoreline remain 2-0 in favour of the hosts at the interval.
