In the second half, Sinaibhag showed some attacking intent, with Ryan Rodrigues unleashing a powerful shot from the right flank, but Cumborda goalkeeper Jhonson Bogot made a crucial save to punch it out for a corner.
Cumborda continued their dominance and added three more goals through Rio (40′), Roy (49′), and Alvito (52′), putting the result beyond doubt. Sinaibhag managed to pull one back in the 60th minute with a fine header from Gilbert Pereira.
