Salgaocars were awarded a free kick, Karan took responsibility who floated his cross into the rival box and found Sanson Pereira who rose highest to the ball who with his blistering header beat the keeper who remained grounded. Penha de France tired hard to equalise but all efforts went in vein as the match ended 1-0 in favour of the Salgaocar Juniors.
