In the sixth minute, a through ball was played into the path of Gwgwmsar, and the youngster beautifully lobbed the ball over the goalkeeper for 2-0.

Gwgwmsar then got his next couple of goals in quick succession. In almost a repeat of Lovepreet’s goal, Minerva Delhi again took a corner short, and this time the ball was driven into the box. It was crossed in for the youngster, and he made no mistake in side-footing it into the back of the net.
In the following minute, Minerva Delhi again mustered up an attack, and Gwgwmsar was first to react after some chaos in the box to get his hattrick and make it 6-0.
Gwgwmsar’s fourth and fifth came in quick succession again as Minerva Delhi ran riot. The seventh goal was an easy tap in while the eighth came after a well-worked move from on the right.
