The second game of the 2015 RAPL Women's Tournament ended in a 1-1 draw between Herat and Balkh. 

Herat's Fatima Haidary scored the first goal for her side via a free kick and broke the deadlock at 17th minute of the game. This goal couldn't keep Herat's lead for very long time as Balkh's ShabanaYusufi scored a splendid equalizer converting the free kick from the edge of the box at 28th minute mark.

After a nice play by Balkh around Herat's box, Zahra Hassanzada was able to make a close effort but missed the goal by centimeters at 56th minute. Balkh's goalie Ruqia Hussaini was another key player guarding Balkh's goal in the second half and securing the final 1-1 score for her side.

Herat played defensively throughout the game. However, they relentlessly tried to score a lead goal in the last minutes but Balkh's defense stood strong against their assault.
Fatima Hairday was awarded best player of the match after scoring the only goal for her side.
