Both teams started the match trying to retain possession. None of the teams created quite a chance to get on with the scoring. However, Guardian Angel lost their striker Abel early after he was forced off the pitch after getting injured. But this didn't hamper the Churchorem side's play as Clifton Dias scored from a long ranger in the 11th minute which was deflected off Leny Pereira after Salgaocar keeper Abijit Das went the wrong way as he didn't expect the deflection. At the hour mark, Guardian Angel got their second goal through Anthony, who placed the ball over the keeper. In the 66th minute, however, Salgaocar equalised through Mackroy Peixote who shot the ball right into the bottom left corner after he got past three Guardian Angel players.

Joel Ayeni restored the parity in the match in the 93rd minute as he headed the ball in from Agnelo Colaco's corner.
