Bouncing back from their earlier loss, Antruz Rising Stars produced a commanding 9–2 win over Cosmos United in Game 8. Nikhil Pai Kakode led the charge with a five-goal blitz, supported by braces from Shashank Kenkre and Gaurish Prabhudesai. Cosmos United found consolation through goals by Soham Prabhugaonkar and Adeep, but the Rising Stars dominated proceedings. Nikhil’s five-star showing earned him the Man of the Match accolade.
In Game 9, SynQ Rangers maintained their strong run with a 6–4 triumph over Sniper FC. Sanat Mhapne grabbed a hat-trick and played a pivotal role in the win, ably supported by Vishal Sinai Salgaonker’s brace and an own goal from the opposition.
