United Club of Telaulim scored as early as in the second minute when a defensive mixup between the YFA goalkeeper Annette DaCosta and a defender saw Karen capitalising on the opportunity and driving the ball at the back of the net to score the team’s first goal.
Telaulim then doubled the score in the 21st minute when YFA keeper Annette failed to deal with Jossel Mascarenhas’ cross wherein Karen at the right place and right time, put the ball into the goal to make it 2-0.
Just before the breather, Telaulim’s most hard-working player Rizella scripted her name onto the score-sheet in the 41st minute with a long-range shot which had no answer from the rival keeper. The winners led 3-0 at the break.
