The two sides clashed at the Mohun Bagan ground in the final game of Group B, with both of them as well as JFC, also playing their final game simultaneously against FC Goa at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK), having a shot at the knockout stages. JFC, however, went down 0-5 in that game, allowing Army Green to go through along with group toppers FC Goa, who had three wins out of three.

Azharuddin Mallick gave the Black and White's an early lead in the first half and then scored a second minute from close, while Trinidadian striker Marcus Joseph, the 129th edition's top scorer, got two in two minutes in the second, to ensure a smooth passage for their team into the quarter-finals.
