The visitors impressed with their counter-attacking prowess in the first-half, capitalising on their swift breaks to create dangerous opportunities.

Mario Lemos’ tactics bore fruit in the 17th minute when their key marksman Cornelius Stewart benefitted from a goalkeeping howler by Vishal Kaith, to seize the opportunity against the run of play.

A pivotal moment came in the 37th minute when Liston Colaco was tripped, leading to Jason Cummings’ leftfooted penalty kick to bring the game on an even keel before the break.
