The second period saw them scoring six goals with a hat trick from Filipov while Hassan Muhammed scored twice and Usman Mohammed getting his name on the score sheet as well. 

The team wrapped up victory with emphatic seven goals in the third period, thereby qualifying as the third best team in Group A.

They will be taking on Spain's Mazarron BSC in the Friday's second round clash.
