Goa Velha’s forward Newton Pereira, Anthony Rego and Martin Gonsalves also put up a spectacular show for their team.
As both the teams were unable to break ice in the regulation time, the tie-breaker system had to be adopted wherein Francis Fernandes, Jayesh Chopdekar and Soma Korgaoncar scored for Adash.
Goa Velha could score only two shots accurately in the penalty shootout through Anthony Rego and Martin Gonsalves. Adarsh keeper Soma Korgaoncar was the hero of the day as he saved three penalties in the tie-breaker.
