The scoring spree continued when Wayne Colaco secured his own hat-trick by converting a penalty in stoppage time (80+1 minute), sealing a comprehensive 7-0 victory.
The large crowd witnessed a dominant Snows side remain undefeated throughout the tournament, claiming their second consecutive title after winning in 2023.
The trophy was presented by Laxman Hodarkar, Chairman of GFA Youth Development, to Anthony Pango, Senior Vice President of GFA, alongside Andrew Ferrao and Cosme Oliveira, GFA executive members.
