In the second half Sporting showed intent as their forward trio created some promising runs but couldn’t make it count. In the 55th minute Karen Shirodkar of Salgaocar FC got his marching orders for a rash tackle on Harshad Naik reducing The Greens to 10 men. Exploiting the one man advantage Sporting made some promising moves of which the best one came in 58th minute when Akeraj Martins made a head on run against the Salgaocar keeper but the latter managed to see off the danger, at the other end Shervin had a similar experience seeing off a dangerous run from Lalit. Once again Sporting took the lead when their in-form Daryl Costa beat his marker on the left flank to drill a low shot past the SFC keeper making it 2 – 1. Sporting held on to the lead right till the end as they managed to keep possession and exploit the large gaps in Salgaocar formation. However for Flaming Oranje, the injury time ghost came back haunting when Divyansh Sudan of Slagaocar stole 2 points off with a low right footer after being set up well by Manesh Kumar in the dying seconds of second half injury time.
