Damasio, declared man-of-the-match, struck in the 41st minute, finding the target off a pass from James Singh and again four minutes later, following a goal-mouth scramble.
Samson increased the tally when his powerful header found the net in the 66th minute and substitute Pari completed the HAL's rout, scoring in the 82nd minute.
