Despite the setback, Vtoons remained resolute, with their midfield working hard to regain control and push forward.

As the match progressed, NICHIN FA managed to reclaim the upper hand with another goal, striking when Vtoons looked most threatening.

Despite their valiant efforts, the final whistle signalled the end of the contest and the tournament for Vtoons FC.
