Fate of missed chance continued as Sunny Fernandes of Chandor Club after dribbling past a couple of Don Bosco Oratory defenders shot from a close range but missed the target by whiskers in the 7th minute.
This time in the 13th minute, Sunny Fernandes didn’t repeat his mistake and scored the first goal of the match. As the match progressed in the second half, Vitorino Fernandes netted the second goal for Chandor Club in the 55th minute.
