It was Ambelim who broke the deadlock in the sixth minute when Samson Fernandes got hold of the ball from Cardozo and fired in a low grounder which left the keeper rooted to his spot.
Assolda did not wait for long and found the equalizer just two minutes later when Franky Fernades snatched the ball from the midfield and covered a few yards before unleashing a powerful strike which landed into the far corner of the Ambelim nets.
The teams pressed hard to turn the match in their favour and after several failed efforts Assolda scored the all-important goal in the final moments of the first half when Franky Fernandes rose high to nod in Succor Fernandes cross.
