RAIA: Calangute Association defeated Nerul Sports Club 1-0 to book their place in the final of the Nerul Cup 2025, organised by Nerul Sports Club and played at their home ground, on Thursday.

Both teams displayed aggressive intent in the first half, though Calangute missed several scoring opportunities. Calangute’s goalkeeper was called into action to deny Chaitan Dablokar of Nerul with a fine save from a header.

The deadlock was broken in the second half when Sainath Kalungtakar found the back of the net for Calangute. Despite late pressure from the hosts, including a dangerous free-kick from Prajot Shirodkar brilliantly saved by the Calangute custodian, the visitors held on.

Cydon D’Souza of Calangute Association was named man-of-the-match.
