Kulothungon then moved up and Bagan managed to hold their opponents goalless in regulation time and extra time.

Before the penalty shootout, Bagan coach Karim Bencharifa brought in Sangram Mukherjee in place of Shilton Paul. The move paid didvidends as Mukherjee thwarted Jayanta Sen's set piece which ensured Bagan's victory.

For Bagan, Marcos Pereira, Rakesh Masih, Snehashish Chakrabarty, Sur Kumar Singh and James Singh converted the penalties, while P.C. Lalawmpuia, Eduardo, Lal Kamal Bhowmick and Subhashish Roy Chowdhury were successful for United. But Mukherjee's spectacular save ended United's campaign in the tourney.
