Khokate scored in the first half, sending a dipping shot into goal, which had the otherwise efficient Tata Electric custodian Clarence Robert misjudging the flight of the ball in the 7th minute. Rhino did the early running but were restricted by Robert's plucky show, the goal not-with-standing.

The second half saw Tata Electric put in a concerted effort to equalise but were impeded by a dour defence.

Rhino, themselves, had a few essays on goal but their strikers were wayward in their attempts.

Firoz Ali Khan and Agnelo Fernandes were on target for Khalsa Gymkhana `A' in a 2-0 win over Naigaum Police in Div-I-B.
