Harijan scored a goal in each half to give Penha de Franca a comfortable victory.
St Rock came back stronger in the second half and created chances, however there was no way past Penha de Franca keeper Naved Almeida, who was outstanding.
Naved first denied St Rock striker Quan with a diving save effort then went on to make two more brilliant saves to deny Nelton and Roidon from close range.
At other end, Melvin released a through ball to Harijan, who outpaced his marker and shot into the goal for the lead.
Soon, St Rock came close to equalizing but Quan’s long ranger hit the crossbar and went out of play.
Changing over, St Rock dominated but their strikers struggled. In the dying minute, their goalkeeper moved forward which cost them dearly as a long clearance by Penha de Franca’s Pritesh found Harijan, who chipped into the open goal from the midfield to make 2-0.
