MARGAO
Churchill Brothers Sports Club got the better of Salgaocar FC 2-0 in the All India Football Federation Under-15 Youth League at SAG ground, Utorda, on Tuesday. Mevan Shawn Dias and Diyam Sharma scored for the
Varca-based club.
Churchill Brothers colts started the game on aggressive note and came close to taking the lead in the very 2nd minute when Richard Carvalho sped down the rival penalty box and unleashed a snap-shot, which however, missed the target narrowly.
At the other end, Salgacoar colts' Antush Moniz then surged from the flank, clearing the defence and had all the time to put the ball past the Churchill Brothers goalkeeper. However, Moniz shot straight to into the rival goalkeeper's hands.
Churchill Brothers looked to score in the first half, where Harsh Patre failed to beat the rival goalkeeper in the 12th minute. Salgaocar colts were unlucky when Rohan Viegas, outpacing the defenders, saw his attempt fisted away by Curchill Brothers goalkeeper Moin Mansuri.
After a pep talk from coach Marcelino Pereira at the breather, Churchill Brothers were a dominant side and attacked the rival citadel with more vigour in the second half, to force a result. Mevan Shawn Dias, who played a stellar role, put his team ahead in the 73rd minute. In the injury time, Churchill Brothers got another goal when substitute Diyam Sharma found the nets.
