Goa responded through Javier Siverio, Dejan Drazic, Muhammed Nemil, and David Timor.

It was Goa’s third Super Cup triumph, the most by any team having first won in 2019, which would make them eligible to compete in play-offs of the Asian Champions League 2, having won at that stage this season to qualify for the group stage.
