Christopher gave the lead to Don Bosco in the 19th minute when he capitalized on a weak collection by the Paroda keeper. Hardly had the cheers of the Don Bodsco fans subsided, the very next minute John Colaco doubled the lead when he connected a brilliant cross from Danny Dias.
Changing over, Paroda had a golden opportunity to reduce the margin in the 40th minute but Manesh Oliveira missed from point blank range. Christopher scored his second goal when he beat a couple of defenders and placed the ball in the Paroda net to make it 3-0. The last nail in Paroda’s coffin was drilled by Joel Camara when he latched on to a cross from Charlton Pereira.
