The match kicked off with both sides struggling to find their rhythm, resulting in limited goal-scoring opportunities. Crownity North District seized the initiative early on, with Law Hiu Chung delivering a promising cross from the left at the 28-minute mark. Wong Wai Kwok managed to control the ball in the penalty area, only for his left-footed volley to be expertly saved by the goalkeeper.

The 42nd minute saw Crownity North District presented with a golden chance. Itallo Hendrik whipped in a cross from the right, which was met by a powerful strike from Naveed. His shot, however, ricocheted off the crossbar.

Crownity North District continued to press before the interval, with Wong Wai Kwok and Kendy Renato executing a neat one-two in front of the box. Unfortunately, the resulting shot failed to find the net, leaving the sides deadlocked at 0:0 as the first half concluded.

Regrouping for the second half, Eastern regained their momentum. A standout moment came in the 57th minute when Yu Joy Yin Jesse launched a shot in the penalty area. The ball found its way to Wong Ho Chun, whose swift turn and left-footed strike were dramatically saved by the diving goalkeeper.

Eastern maintained their pressure, and in the 61st minute, Leung Kwun Chung delivered a corner from the right. Wong Ho Yin's far-post header was thwarted by a one-handed save from the goalkeeper.

Crownity North District retaliated in the 65th minute, with Wong Wai Kwok and Matheus combining for a long-range attempt, but the shot fell wide of the mark.

The deadlock was finally broken in the 75th minute when Kendy Renato from Crownity North District threaded a pass to Ho Chun Ting, who drilled a 25-yard shot into the bottom left corner, nudging his team into a 1:0 lead.

Eastern quickly responded in the 83rd minute, with Ryu Ji Seong directing a cross to the far post from the right. Marcos Gondra rose highest and nodded the ball in, leveling the scores at 1:1.

Crownity had a chance to regain their lead, but a potential game-winner from Wong Wai Kwok was disallowed due to offside just two minutes later.

In the dying moments of the match, Eastern clinched the victory. A corner kick from Leung Kwun Chung sparked chaos in Crownity North District's penalty area, allowing Wong Ho Chun to poke home amidst the scramble.

Finally, Eastern celebrated a hard-fought 2:1 victory over Crownity North District, securing all three points and claiming the third place in this season's BOC Life Hong Kong Premier League.
