But PIA joy failed to extend as Sher Hassan dragged the equalizer in the 71st minute from the penalty mark. The all important match winnng goal was scored by Nazeer Ahmed in the 75th minute as PIA earned ticket of elimination phase with 2-1.
Once again winger Zafar Majeed became hero of KPT’s 1-0 win over Pakistan Television (PTV) at PMC Ground. His goal in the final minute of game turned out to be the winner as Portmen entered the last eight. Zafar was also scorer when Karachi Port Trust (KPT) dislodged Police with same scoreline.
At Agriculture Ground, Pakistan Air Force (PAF) eliminated Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited (ZTBL) from the event with easy 2-0 win. The airmen who never won the event in previous attempt turned the ball into back of the net once in each session. Winger Erfan Ali faked his way in for the first goal in the closing seconds of first half and it was all over for ZTBL as they conceded second in the 61st minute through midfielder Amir Khan.
Under new coach Tariq Lutfi, Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) continued their firework and handed 2-0 win over Habib Bank Limited (HBL) at Bohranwali Ground. Both their goals emerged in the second session with international Rizwan Asif opening the floodgate in the 50th minute and current Pakistani skipper Samar Ishaq hammered the second in the 73rd minute.
