Evans Asante gave a 2-0 lead to Serendib – a penalty in the 11th and a long range effort in the 14th minutes – early on before Mohamed Anas pulled a goal back for New Star in the 17th minute. New Star dominated the game thereafter and could have equalized if not for Chameera Krishantha’s wayward penalty.

Serendib got some breathing space with their 3rd goal in the 75th minute through Mohamed Issadeen who finished off a wonderful link-up play with Evans. Substitute Ahamed Adil made it 3-2 for New Star in the 84th minute but equalizing third goal eluded them.

Boadu Prince scored in the 20th minute for Matara before Nabeel Sudar equalized for Police in the 33rd minute. Keshan Duminda made it 2-1 for Matara in the 59th minute and an own goal from Hashika Navoda in the 62nd minute gave them a 3-1 lead and atwo goal cushion.
