St. Sebastiao set the tone early, taking control from the opening whistle.

The early double gave Fatorda complete control of the game. Richie Vaz then added a third goal before halftime, further extending their commanding lead.
The second half saw St. Sebastiao maintain their dominance, with Beckham Dias and Richie Vaz continuing to orchestrate play in midfield while keeping St. Rock on the back foot. Unable to break through defensively, St. Rock struggled to mount any meaningful comeback.
