Betalbatim SC enter quarterfinals


Margao: Betalbatim SC booked their place in the quarterfinals of the UCV Cup 2026 with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Parish Youth Nuvem at the Church Ground, Chinchinim, on Tuesday.

The tournament is being organised by the Union of Chinchinim Villagers.

Both teams created several scoring opportunities in an evenly contested first half but failed to find the breakthrough, as the sides went into the interval locked at 0-0.

Betalbatim SC broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute of the second half when Mohamad Sahil found the back of the net with a well-taken finish.

Parish Youth Nuvem pressed hard in search of an equaliser during the closing stages, but Betalbatim's resolute defence stood firm to preserve their slender advantage until the final whistle.

Mohamad Sahil was adjudged the Player of the Match for his match-winning performance. The award was presented by Ritisha Gonsalves and Joyce Rebello, panch members of the Village Panchayat of Chinchinim-Deussua.
