Earlier in the day, Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and defending champions National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) won their matches while Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) held Wapda to a draw.

PAF edged past Port Qasim Authority (PQA) 2-1. Asif Manzoor (fourth min) and Rao Amir (14th min) got PAF ahead and Abu Bakar (21st min) reduced the margin for PQA. Last year`s champions NBP gave Navy a 4-0 thrashing.

The goals were scored by Umar Bhutta (sixth min), Mohammad Rizwan (27th min), Sibrain Raza (38th min) and Ali Shan (60th min). Wapda and SSGC played a 1-1 draw. All of Wapda`s joy and enthusiasm at Aleem Bilal`s goal in the very first minute was neutralized when Zeeshan Bukhari restored parity for SSGC in the 66th minute.
