Intensifying the attack, Climax, who registered a hat-trick, converted a pass from Rodrigues in the 36th
minute. His other two goals came in the 44th and 85th minute, by utilising Pereira's pass and outsmarting the rival defenders.

The other scorers were Clifford Miranda (40th minute), Jaquim Abranches (66th and 83rd minute), Nicholau Borges (48th minute) and captain Samir Naik (76th minute), through a beautiful flying kick.

Goa, thrice winners of the trophy, jointly with Bengal in 1982 and independently in 1983 and 1989, showcased their prowess in keeping the ball away from their part of the field for most part of the game.
