In the 20th minute, Velsao SCC were awarded a freekick just outside the box. Brian Mascarenhas sent in a low powerful drive which was brilliantly saved by Barreto, but the ball travelled to Jesloy, whose shot from tight angle narrowly missed the side post.


Post water-break, Velsao SCC continued to miss their chances. Savelon Cardozo sent in a cross from the left which Jesloy Moniz headed poorly wide. 


At the other end, YC Manora took the lead in the 34th minute with a brilliant strike from Nicholas Fernandes, who showed his class and composure as he got past two defenders and upon entering the box dribbled the third and scored past Velsao keeper Presley Mascarenhas.
