Ismail Hamdaoui and Catarino added some flair to the match in the second period, giving their team a two-goal advantage to which Kerala could never respond. Ton Phi, Michel Salgado and Daniel Ibanes gave Cobras some faint hope, but Ronaldinho's second strike put the final score on the board.

The third period was a close affair, and Giggs went close to tying things up, but Mauro Canal restored the two-goal advantage for Telugu, instead.
Mumbai rallied in the closing minutes of the match, which saw Giggs net an equaliser only for Peerapat and Anupam to respond to hand Telugu three points.
