The first fifteen minutes of the game was all quiet, with the SJI players steadily denying the Bowen attackers of all their chances. In the 16th minute, Sasi Kala Tamang broke the silence with the first goal. Two minutes later, Emilia Natasha smashed the second into the back of the net after a cross from teammate Ong Yan Ling. Sasi then dribbled through the entire SJI defence to make the score 3-0 just before half time.

Just 30 seconds into the second half, the Bullets executed a well-rehearsed attack straight from the kick-off, resulting in Yan Ling bringing the ball down the left flank to score form a tight angle. Emilia and Sasi extended the Bullets girls’ lead to 6-0 in the 34th and 38th minute respectively, with goals from outside the penalty box.

The floodgates remained opened for Sasi as she grabbed her fourth goal through a free kick in the 46th minute. Midfielder Siti Nor Aysah deftly slotted the ball past the keeper two minutes before the final whistle to seal the game with an 8-0 score line.
