Sporting Clube de Goa 2-1 Salgaocar FC

Sporting Clube de Goa came from behind to break Salgaocar FC's unbeaten run and qualify for the final after winning 2-1 in the GFA's Knockout Cup semi-final at Cuncolim ground on Saturday afternoon. Salgaocar led 1-0 at the interval.

Salgaocar came closest to scoring when Darryl Duffy chipped the ball at goal, only to be denied by the post. Seven minutes before the breather, Salgaocar found the breakthrough when a cross was swung in from the left side, which Darryl Duffy connected to at the back post with a bullet header to give his side the lead.

After resumption, Sporting Goa was a revitalized team. It took only three minutes to draw level when Kofi Dankwae rose highest to nod home Cajetan Fernandes' corner to score on his debut. Ten minutes from time Sporting Goa found the winner when substitute Victorino Fernandes volleyed a Beevan D'Mello corner into the back of the net.
