Pilerne outfit came with series of attack pinning their opponents mostly inside their own territory and went into the breather with three goals lead.

In the 31st minute, Stanly D’Souza got hold of a ball from Rajat and guided the ball into the goal, while three minutes later Yeshwant dribbled past two of the Vagator defenders and set the ball to unmarked Prakash Rathod whose left footer strike hit the back of the nylons to make it 3-0.
