Both teams shared equal possession in the first half with the St Theresa's defence holding strong — especially goalkeeper Pushkar Padwal, who effected as many as four saves in the first 15 minutes of play. He was finally beaten by Sean in the 16th minute and the score read 1-0 at the lemon break. St Stanislaus began the second period aggressively and Varad Parab made it 2-0, tapping in a Kyle Justine pass. Kyle added the third after which Shayne D'Costa made it 4-0 for St Stanislaus. Sean then completed his hat-trick with fierce hits into the goal in the 39th and 40th minutes.
