Joseph found the net through a rebound ball from the opponent's custodian Sourav who was trying to save an attempt made by NEROCA FC's Ch Kishan Singh.
Mohammedan Sporting Club (MSC) did not lose hope and fought back hard till Ajay Singh found the equaliser for his team in the 73rd minute.
The winning goal for NEROCA FC came in the additional 90+6 minute through M Ashok's header off a long curling pass from Ch Anand Kumar.
However, the match was marred by poor refereeing which resulted in a confrontation after MSC's Saikat Saha Roy committed a serious foul to NEROCA FC's Ch Anandkumar in the dying minutes of the match.
Due to poor refereeing, players of both sides got involved in a physical confrontation in which NEROCA FC goalkeeper L Ashok Singh and MSC player Taurus were sent off in the 90th minute.
Thereafter, NEROCA FC's striker Ng Ronald stepped into the goalkeeper's position and showed his skills by thwarting some of MSC attempts.
NEROCA FC will meet Guwahati FC on December 19 at 1.30 pm at NEROCA FC home ground Main Stadium, Khuman Lampak.
