Paro FC stayed clinical and composed throughout, and in the 69th minute debutant Abdoulie Baldeh added his name to the scoresheet after a flowing attacking move to make it 3–0. He was later substituted for Sonam Tshering Dorji, while Mohib Ullah was replaced by Mamoon Moosa Khan. Leki Mindu also came on for Nima Wangdi as Paro FC managed the closing stages.
