If Railways laboured hard to down Meghalaya 1-0, it was a relatively smooth affair for the Services who beat Tamil nadu 2-0. Punjab downed Karnataka 2-1. However, the match between Assam and Gujarat was abandoned due to unruly behaviour of spectators.

In Guwahati, Meghalaya failed to sparkle for the second time in a row as Railways won by a solitary goal, controlling the midfield well.
