Sajjad Alam stepped up for the Penalty but his strike failed to beat the CR Goalkeeper as the score remained 0-0. However, in another Free-kick chance, John Coutinho stepped up to send a brilliant left-footed shot to beat the keeper and break the deadlock. Customs continued with their attack for the rest of the game but failed to beat CR’s defense again as the game ended 1-0.
