Both sides showed intent early on, with hosts Star Sport enjoying more possession in midfield while FCFC looked dangerous on the counterattack.

Chances were limited, but when they came, the goalkeepers were equal to the task, producing a series of sharp saves to keep the scoreline intact.

Star Sport pressed higher in the second half, pushing their full-backs forward in search of a breakthrough.

FCFC, however, remained disciplined at the back and defended resolutely, cutting off all attacking play from Star Sport. The physical nature of the match increased as time wore on, resulting in a few stoppages but no loss of intensity.

Despite late pressure from both teams, neither could find the decisive moment. The draw reflected the balance of play and ensured both sides walked away with a hard-earned point.
