Ahmad Nadeem, standing right on the left edge of the goal mouth, found the ball from inside the D just in the sixth minute of the opening whistle. He was in the perfect position to execute a slight deflection into the Indian goal and that is what he did to push Pakistan ahead in the match.

There was no need for a ballot vote with Saikia, the incumbent joint-secretary and Bhatia, having served as a councilor earlier in their respective categories. 

The election officer A.K Joti formally named the duo as officer-bearers in the SGM meeting.
