In another match, Central Bank of India and Bank of India played out a goalless draw.

The Railwaymen, who suffered a shocking 0-3 loss to Union Bank in their opener, again struggled to dominate. It took them 33 minutes to piece together a theatening move, but Asif Jamal's strike sailed over the box.

Jamal, however, made amends in the second half, when he put away a precise through pass by Arshad Ansari. Ansari placed the ball through three defenders, and Jamal beat the advancing Police custodian Ajay Bhonge with a placement between the custodian's legs.

To rubs salt in Police's wounds, Abdul Fahim, who had been given a warning earlier by referee Manuel Pereira, was shown the red card for elbowing Prashant Gadge.
