After a goalless first-half, Fernandes blasted a left footer home a well-measured cross from Dino Dias, three minutes on resumption, to claim a hard-fought win. Dias was later voted man of the match. The clash was a repeat of last years final where Vaxim Divar beat their opponents, who played in the name of Morgem, 4-1. Navelim Clipsal took the early initiative creating the first chance forcing Vaxim Divars keeper, Manuel Vaz, to make a save in the first minute. Vaxim Divar responded and with the hard-working Randall creating a lot of problems in the opposing defence. He once drove a fierce shot which Inacio Rodrigues smothered. Vaxim Divar went on to earn the first corner of the match but the Navelim defenders managed to weather the storm. Dino Dias of Vaxim Divar demonstrated a fine skill on the right as he swerved past two defenders on the right only for Benny Fernandes to fumble with his through pass from just a few metres. Navelim Clipsal also had a chance from a corner taken by Vishal Fernandes that the keeper punched on to the feet of Joe Pereira whose effort hit the bar. In an earlier match, Goa Vehla Al Zuari beat a selected side, playing in the colours of SFX Old Goa, 3-0 for a place in the semifinals of the plate competition. Julius Noronha, who was named man of the match, scored in the 15th minute of the first-half. Oswald Fernandes doubled the scores from the spot, five minutes on resumption, with Wilton Goes adding the third, two minutes from the end.
