The home team tasted victory after Karishma Shirvoikar scored a hat trick for the winners while the opposition scored through Flavina Rodrigues and Macrenna Dias. The Ambelim Queens having won their first game of the festival to Skyla Strikers named an unchanged squad, while the Euro Connexion brought in Riya Pires and Macrena Dias in place of Chelsea Simoes and Flavina Rodrigues. The Ambelim side looked formidable in their starting and this was evident as they took the lead early on in the 4th minute of the game itself after Karishma Shirvoikar’s soft header hit the edge of the bar and landed into the nets giving the home side a 1-0 lead. The home team after opening their tally dominated proceedings and their attempts finally paid off after Karishma completed her brace easing past two defenders and swiftly placing her strike into the post in the 12th minute. But the Euro side didn’t look to be giving up as they managed to pull one goal down three minutes later as Flavina Rodrigues shot into the open nets after the keeper failed to save the ball. Ambelim Queens lead 2-1 at half time. Moving into the second half, Euro Connexion found the equalizer just after three minutes of play as Macrenna Dias shot into the post as Queens keeper Astrid Pereira was left in a shock with the shot. The Ambelim Queens were not giving up as Nevilla Colaco shot from far, but the curling strike missed the post. And their hard work finally paid off as Karishma Shirvoikar completed her hat trick converting from the spot giving the home team a 3-2 lead once again after referee pointed for a hand ball inside the box. The Ambelim side held on to their slender lead to gather all 3 points.
