I-League Results/Standings
Both teams struggled to get going in the first half with very few chances being created.
Viva came into this game on a two match unbeaten run so were happy to go into the halftime break all square.
But the deadlock was broken in the second half when a pass from Milagres Gonsalves was put into the back of the net by Guinean striker Mandjou Keita.
Keita showed great composure from close range and has now taken his tally to five for the season.
Viva tried to comeback in the game but the Salgoacar defence was having a good day with skipper Luciano Sabrosa in fine form once again.
The Brazilian defender guided the Goans to their first clean sheet of the new year and was also adjudged man of the match.
Salgaocar have now moved within one point off Viva but may drop back to 12th place if Air India beat Sporting on Monday.
