United Club led 2-0 at the breather.

Spurred by the success, United Club intensified their forays and kept their opponents on the back-foot as they doubled their lead in the 22nd minute after Rody Fernandes slotted past the rival goalkeeper with a deft placement off an intelligent pass from Meliston.
At the other hand, Sao Jose de Areal failed to function as a cohesive unit.
