Post resumption, Albert Developers started off from where they left and soon netted yet another goal increasing their lead in the 51st minute through Jolitan Fernandes’ strike.
With Albert Developers dominating the proceedings, Kevnem SC relied mostly on counter attacks and had a couple of chances at the goal but their strikers fumbled in the end.

Frazer Braganza drove the final nail into the coffin in the 88th minute for Albert Developers.
