Both teams dished out an attacking football though there were no scores in the first half.
Shiroda’s Sunnu D’Cruz on collecting the ball from Joel Cruz had only keeper to beat, but Arlem’s Jennito Pango chased down the striker and foiled his move.
In the 23rd minute, Arlem’s Llyod Cardozo’s low effort was blocked by the rival defender.
Crossing over, Arlem scored the match-winner in the 55th minute through Llyod off Jennito’s assist.
Shiroda had the opportunity to get back into the game but Roland Fernandes missed two sitters in the 60th and 85th minute.
