Hardly had the cheers died down Craig fired in his brace within a matter of seconds when he positioned himself well to slot home the ball off Ajay Diwadkar cross.

Minutes before going into the breather, Saligao SC further inflated the lead when Myron Britto sent in a long floater to Craig who in turn sent a lovely through ball to Ajay, who scored through an adroit placement.
Changing ends, Saligao SC once again continued their scoring spree with their ever reliable strike Craig at the helm of scoring affairs, wherein he netted in his hat-trick within a few moments of resumption of play through a solo effort.
Thereon, there was no turning back for Saligao SC who fired in three more goals at regular intervals through Arnold Cardoz, Craig and Abhijit Gaunkar.
