The match-winner was scored by Jose Rodrigues in the 86th minute.

At the other end, Devandra Mugaonkar had a chance to score for CSM Taleigao in the 19th minute but his move was foiled by rival defender Alister Gomes.
Thereafter, Gautam Kankonkar and Sherwin had a chance each in the 34th and 36th minutes respectively for CSM Taleigao but both shot wide.
