Goa equalised through a penalty in the second half after Alexandre Lima brought down James Donachie inside the box. Angulo converted without much fuss by pushing the ‘keeper T.P. Rehenesh the wrong way. In the fifth minute of the injury time, Edu Bedia's corner kick came off Angulo's back to hit the back of the net as Goa emerged victorious.

JFC was unlucky after Alexander Lima's left-footed strike in the 87th minute saw the ball hitting the underside of the crossbar and falling inside the goal-line before spinning back into play. The goal was not given as the referee and the linesman failed to spot it.

Earlier in the second half, Angulo missed a big chance to pull his equal when his powerful left-footed shot went over the crossbar in the 53rd minute.
