At the end of the regulation time, the teams remained goalless draw.
In the first half, Maina Sports Club and Sporting Club Davorlim dominated the proceedings with their strikers trying hard to score goals. But their targets were not up to the mark and most of the attempts were foiled by the defence lines.
Davorlim in the 13th minute came close to scoring but Clifton Rebello’s header missed the nylon off an assist by Andrew Colaco.
Thereafter, Maina made move in the 26th minute. Joaquim Carvalho’s flag kick curled and hit the crosspiece and the ball rebound back into play.
Post resumption, both the teams dominated but their strikers spoiled easy chances.
In the resultant tie-breaker, Maina Sports Club had the last laugh by scoring 5-4 victory.
