MARGAO: Cuncolim Union had to sweat it out to beat Uguem Rising Club 5-4 via the tie-breaker in the All Goa inter-village Seraulim Panchayat Cup football tournament, organised by United Sports Club of Seraulim, at Seraulim Panchayat ground.
It was Uguem Rising Club who opened their account in the 19th minute when Elton Pereira after receiving a defense splitting pass from Jerry Dias smartly tapped the ball towards the advancing Cuncolim goalkeeper. In the second half, Cuncolim equalised through Jollyton Fernandes in the 32nd minute when he saw his power-packed shot crushed into the net.
Since both teams ended up in a 1-1 draw at full time the result had to be decided by penalty shoot-out and the Cuncolim keeper was the hero by saving two penalties to take his team to the semi-finals.
