Mahesh Naik created panic in the Dempo defence with his pace and ability to go past the defenders. Mahesh’s cross in the 78th minute found Devendra Murgaokar who guided his header into the back of the net for the 2-0. Dempo tried hard to get back into the game, but the Salgaocar back four were not easy to beat.
