St Caitan attacked right from the referee's first whistle. St Caitan's Ajit who ran down the left flank and shot it with his left foot missed the far post by a few inches. The pre match showers had a drastic effect on the ground which made it impossible for players to dribble with the ball.
St Caitan's Ajit had yet another go at goal but this time Moloca goalie Agostin made a decent save. Moments later, St Caitan had another chance to score via Caitan who saw his header sail over the crossbar. Moloca defender Savio did well to defend a
shot off Dishaunk.
Moloca Joban found Martin in the box but the latter's header was dealt by St Caitan goalie Dhiraj.
This was the first instance in which he was put to test. Dishaunk of St Caitan finally scored the goal when his right footed volley sailed past the rival keeper. At half time the scoreboard read 1-0 in favour of St Caitan.
Post resumption both the teams began on a very physical note. Savio of Moloca was booked after a rough challenge on Prakash. St Caitan doubled their lead through Prakash who nodded home after a lovely ball from Dishaunk from the left flank.
Moments later, Prakash was booked for handling the ball and putting it in the rival net. Post the booking Dishaunk scored a brace after taking a shot off Vishal's rebound shot which was well saved by Moloca goalie but couldn't parry the ball to safety but instead went directly to Shaunak who then did the rest. In the dying minutes, Ajit finally got his name on the scoresheet scoring the team's fourth goal.
St Caitan A will now face Temba in the finals that will be played on August 24.
