The forward cut inside Sri Lankan defender Jude Supan at the top of the box before hitting past the keeper's gloves. The winger, who hailed from Sylhet, doubled the lead after the hour mark with a cool finish. After snatching possession from the same defender at the halfway line, Matin got only the opponent goalkeeper in front of him and he skillfully dribbled past the custodian before rolling the ball in the net.[8][9]
