chances that came their way. For Guardian Angel Sunny Fernandes came
close to scoring but just couldn't keep his composure in front of the
rival goal. The teams were tied 0-0 at the break.
In the second half it wasn't a different story as Vasco SC continued
with their attacking football. The strong Vasco SC just couldn't get
past equally brilliant Guardian Angel goalkeeper Ozen Silva as the

situation. Guardian Angel SC were lucky to sustain the pressure mounted
by the determined Vasco SC. However in the final 10 minutes of the game
it was end to end affair as Guardian Angel who were unlucky to break the
Vasco SC defense finally scored the lone goal of the match when Clinton
Niasso played an aerial cross in the box which was brilliantly met by
Ashely Araujo. Guardian Angel SC kept the score line 1-0 till the final
