Candolim had the first crack at the rival goal however Sigmund Silveira’s strike went inches past the Parra goal.
It was Parra who broke the deadlock, when in the 18th minute of play Atish Murgaonkar set the ball on platter to Rowell Pinto who unleashed a powerful strike which had no answer from Candolim keeper Xavier Estrocio.
However their joy was short lived after they conceded a self goal four minutes later, when Parra defender Vasant Gadekar’s header towards his keeper entered the nets, 1-1.
Minutes before the halftime whistle Parra once again managed to take the lead when Joaquim Pacheco’s strike hit the Candolim woodwork and the ball rolled towards Atish Murgaonkar who deftly tapped it home, 2-1.
Crossing over Candolim were a completely transformed side, keeping their rivals pinned in their own backyard and firing in as many as four goals through Rajat Chopdekar, Simon Fernandes, Anthony D’Souza and Canute D’Souza.
