The match began with high intensity as Verna opened the scoring as early as the 4th minute. Johann Abranches capitalised on a loose ball inside the box and fired home past Davorlim goalkeeper Francisco Colaco.

UC Verna almost doubled their lead shortly after when William Niasso, set up beautifully by Peter Colaco, narrowly missed the target. However, they didn't have to wait long as Sheldon Fernandes made it 2-0 in the 24th minute, giving Verna a comfortable lead going into the break.
