The man of the match was awarded to A Boynao.
In the second match, MPSC made a dream start pumping in three goals by the eighth minute against SSA, Charangpat.
A hit from S Tarun went directly into the box in the second minute and before SSA could recover from the shock of conceding an early lead they were already 3-0 down as S Rabi slotted in two goals, first in the fifth and again three minutes later.
SSA regrouped slowly but steadily and succeeded in pulling one back in the 17th minute through T Deynick.
Rabi found his hattrick goal in the 34th minute to make it 4-1 in MPSC's favour but his celebration was short-lived as L Dipu gave the final touch in a successful counter attack.
SSA was rewarded again in the 49th again, this time H Romi being the hero.
Though SSA came very close to salvaging a draw, P Priyokumar of MPSC broke their hearts by scoring his team's fifth goal in the 59th minute.
N Ksaranjit of SSA was adjudged the man of the match.
