The match was played at Khulna Zilla School ground. The entire ground was decorated with colourful papers and balloons. The gallery was packed to full. Both the teams entered the ground and the match began with the whistle from the referee. Players of Dhaka Division started to play aggressively from the very beginning. They dominated the first half of the match. They tried to break through the defenses of Khulna Division but could not score a goal. So, the half-time score was 0-0. We were supporting Khulna Division and a bit disappointed at the performance of our team.
The scenario changed totally after half-time. Khulna Division started attacking game and within a few minutes of the second half, they turned the match in their favour. The whole gallery was supporting them. They made several attempts to score a goal. The goalkeeper of Dhaka Division was equally strong. He along with his defenders thwarted the attacks of Khulna Division. But, he was fooled by a striker of Khulna Division. The striker had a shot into the goal posts from a good distance. The goalkeeper thought it would fly over the goal bar, but the ball turned sharply and entered into the goalposts. The goal was scored at 65 minute into the game and that was the decider though both teams made some more futile attempts.
The match was very exciting and thrilling till the last minute of the play. I enjoyed it very much. It will remain in my memory for a long time.
