Thursday August 1 – Results (SF)
1- Galacticos 1 (Rahim)
This SF started off at frantic pace and both sides created good chances but neither team was able to break the deadlock. Nil Nil at halftime and both sides were nervous to start the second half until a defensive howler allowed Rahim to score. All Credit to DID FC as they after the goal started some real movement and instead of fading away scored two vital goals with MOM Asad scoring a late winner with a lung bursting run and finish of Captains Assist. DID FC in the final, earned it.

Shahbaz 0
Both teams faced the heartbreak of last year and until this match up Shahbaz were slight favorites to wipe out the bad luck and make it to the final but a stunning combination of two stars of Free Stylers settled the game.
