Despite a spirited effort by Majorda’s young team to stage a comeback in the second half, they struggled against the seasoned Curtorim side. Oscar and Shawn displayed resilience, but their efforts were hindered by a lack of support. Anthony Fernandes and Mackson scored in the 50th and 57th minutes respectively, solidifying Curtorim’s domination. Mackson’s outstanding performance earned him the man-of-the-match which was awarded by Xavier Pereira, Sarpanch of VP Benaulim.
