Strikes from Kamala Devi (32th minute, 66th) and Prameshwori Devi (57th) led Eastern Sporting Union to an easy win over their opponents which was largely dominated -- both in possession and chances created -- by ESU.
Eastern Sporting Union picked up where they left off and two minutes into the second half, Kamala's cross found Kashmina clear in the box, but the latter's shot failed to find the net and went over the bar.
Little did ESU had to wait for their second goal and in the 57th minute, Prameshwori played a one-two with Kashmina and scored from a narrow angle to make the scoreline read 2-0.
The second goal knocked the stuffing out of Rising Students Club and with low morale, they struggled to keep pace with Eastern Sporting Union.
ESU however pressed to take an unassailable three-goal lead and put the tie to bed. And in the 66th minute Kamala did just that.
The fleet-footed forward burst in the opposition box and blasted the ball into the back of the net to make it 3-0.
