A solitary goal from Yugal Kishor Rai in the 33rd minute of the second half gave Three Star victory over 10-men NPC. Prabin Karki supplied the pass to Rai, who dribbled past two NPC defenders and sloted the ball past golie Ritesh Thapa from left bar into the post.
NPC was reduced to 10 men as Parbat Pandey was sent off in 24th minutes of second half after being penalised with two yellow cards for his foul attempt against rival players. All Nepal Football President, Ganesh Thapa, who also played the charity match for 29th minute had many chance to score for Three Star.

The complex, aimed to be completed in three years at the cost of Rs 24.7 million, will have a six-storey building accomodating 20 commercial shops to be built on the 4,700 square feet land owned by Lalitpur Sub-Metropolitan City.
