Referee Harish Kundu blows his whistle, and Bodoland FC get us underway in this crucial clash where the winner takes all in terms of qualification. Stay tuned.

In a mathc where nothing short of a win will suffice, ITBPFT have started well, with Srikumar getting an early header at Daimary's goal, but it was over the bar.

After the opening shot by ITBP, Bodoland have dominated the ball, and Junior has had two attempts that went off target. However, BDFC are knocking on the door with their fluent attacking movement.

Amid intense pressure by Bodoland FC, ITBP FT fashion a chance out of nowhere, with Srikumar doing exceedingly well to get past the defender. One on one against the goalkeeper, Srikumar tried to find the near post but it went agonisingly wide. The ITBP head coach has hands on his head.

Bodoland FC are continuing their onslaught on the IBP goal, but the final pass is still missing. Pedro's cross is punched away by Ugesh, and Goyary has an effort from long range that goes wide of the left post. No breakthrough yet in the match.

A stunning free-kick from over the half-way line by Pedro, and it falls to the crowd of Bodoland players in the box. Timothi Narzary, who missed a good chance just moments earlier, makes amends with a good header goalwards that goes past Ugesh. The ITBP goalkeeper will not be happy with his effort, though.

Another very good chance for Bodoland as Abdul Samed found himself in the box and at the end of a good cross from Urjoy. The Ghanian gets a flick on the ball which hits the side netting, but he claims a penalty. There seems to be nothing untoward in the box from ITBP defenders, and the referee waves play on.

Bodoland’s pressure pays off as Pradita jumped on the back of Robinson while the Colombian tried to get to the end of a ball into the box. The referee immediately points to the spot amid a protest by the ITBP players.

Pedro steps up to take the penalty, and finds the right corner with a thumping strike despite Ugesh diving the correct way.

A fantastic team goal from Bodoland FC, with the ball finally falling to Gwgwmsary Goyary. The Bodoland number 9 took the ball well and then calmly finished past Ugesh, giving his side an unsurmountable lead before half time.

Four minutes of added time was played at the end of 45 minutes, and Bodoland FC had a number of chances to increase their lead. Pedro had a glorious opportunity that he hit straight at Ugesh. However, it has been a one-way traffic, with 11 shots by Bodoland FC compared to just one by ITBP FT. Worringly, Wanbok got his name taken by the referee, which means there ITBP players have seen yellow card in the first half.

ITBP FT players get the second half underway. The first half was as one sides as it could have been. Will the second half be any different?

Bodoland FC players have continued where they left off in the first half, with Junior having a shot on target that failed to trouble Ugesh's goal. ITBP need to change something to get any sort of footing in this contest, which, reminding you, they need to win at all costs.

The tempo of the gave has droped with a little but, with ITBP trying to catch their opponents in case of any mistakes in possession. However, BDFC defenders are standing resolute, and ITBP players are strugling to even get a shot at Daimary's goal.

A double change from Bodoland FC and Subham Chetry and Arjun Mardi come on in place of the goalscorers Goyary and Narzary. Meanwhile, Daimary received some treatment after a collision in the box.

It's pouring heavily in Kokrajahar, with the match barely visible amid the downstream. The fans don't mind, as they are loud and vociferous in support of Bodoland FC, who has conitnued to dominate proceedings. The second drinks break has concluded, and Pedro takes a free-kick.

After Junior missed a golden chance for BDFC, Amdul Samed made amends with a terrific goal that took Bodoland's advantage to four. A good corner from Pedro is punched away by Ugesh, but manages to get it as far as a Bodoland player, who plays a low ball into the box. Abdul Samed does well to athletically divert it goalwards past the keeper. The crowd go berserk!

A solid performance all the way through from Bodoland FC, and they make their way to the knockouts with today's massive win. ITBP's Durand Cup journey comes to an end.
