Rotkovic was deployed as lone striker with Mathew and Arifur on the wings, and the host looked threatening from the beginning. The 16-year old defender Yeasin doubled the lead two minutes later with a brilliant shot from outside the box. The visiting side were rarely given any space while the host, whose midfield was led by Jamal, continued to penetrate the Maldives defence. Mathew netted his second to extend the lead in the 40th minute placing home from close range following a cutback by Sohel.
