In the last few seconds of the first-half, Puneri registered the first ALL OUT to take a 17-11 lead. Jaipur attempted to stage a comeback in the second-half as the raiding duo of Arjun and Rahul began to cause chaos and put the Paltan defence under pressure.
With their lead reducing, Puneri began to get back into the game. A SUPER TACKLE by Gaurav Khatri put Arjun out of the equation and then one by Mohammad Nabibaksh removed Chaudhari. Then they got an eight-point lead. Then Puneri kept their tempo and didn't lose their lead. Jaipur tried to get a consolation point but were denied.
