Yogeshwar had to toil hard in a gruelling final with his rival Yusupov defending extremely well. Yogeshwar tried to pin his opponent down time and again but failed in his efforts.

Speaking to NDTV after the bout, Yogeshwar said he wanted to dedicate the medal to his father who had passed away before the 2006 Asian Games in which he had won a bronze medal.
