In the first match of the day, United Friends Club proved their class when they overwhelmed United Goans Centre 5-0. Abdul Munir was the hat-trick hero for UFC while Remedios Fernandes and diminutive defender Shehen Valapil scored one a piece to leave United Goans Centre at the bottom of group B and will have to improve their performance to have any realistic chance of qualifying to the quarterfinal stage.
