In the second half, O’sheish once again started out strong registering two quick goals to make it 3-0. Altamash Khan, who scored the opener, completed his brace with a 43^rd minute strike while Emaad Nadkar added the third three minutes later.

In the final stretch of the game, Worli SC’s attack finally broke O’sheish FA defence as Atharva Shinde notched a consolation goal for his side around the hour mark as the game ended at 3-1 score-line.
