After the break, Paroda doubled their advantage through Fedrich Fernandes, who struck a dipping shot to put his side 2-0 ahead. Nagoa responded with a quick counterattack as Hilton Fernandes made a solo run before being fouled by Eusebio inside the box. Referee Mario awarded a penalty, which Hilton converted to reduce the deficit to 2-1.
Paroda regained control in the 55th minute when Kanchan Kiro tapped in an easy pass from Savio Vales to restore the two-goal cushion at 3-1. Savio Vales then went on to score twice more, sealing a comprehensive 5-1 win for Paroda.
