It was the Saligao colts that went into the lead in the 30th minute as Taiwan Travasso put his team ahead through a well executed free kick, 1-0.
Down by a goal, Assonora were a transformed unit on crossing over as they not only levelled terms in the 36th minute, through a power-packed shot from outside the penalty box by Milind Shinde, but scored two more goals through Prajot Arabekar placement and Rajesh Salgaonkar strike from outside the penalty box, 3-1.
Adarsh YS did try to come back into the match from a 35-yard shot from Edwin Fernandes, 3-2. But in the last quarter of the match, Assonora defence held their citadel till the final whistle to take their team into the next round.
