MARGAO: Fr Agnelo Youth Club Paroda stormed into the final of the 34th Curtorim Panchayat Cup All-Goa Inter-Village Football Tournament with a 2-0 victory over Guardian Angel Sports Club Curchorem at Curtorim Church Ground. The tournament is organised by Curtorim Gymkhana.
Both teams made a brisk start, putting each other under pressure. Paroda broke the deadlock in the 20th minute when Kanchan Kiro found the net after receiving a long pass from a corner taken by Godwin Fernandes.
Paroda went into the half-time break with a 1-0 lead.
Guardian Angel missed a golden opportunity to draw level in the second half when Rostan Costa shot over the crossbar from close range in the 35th minute.
Paroda made them pay for the miss, doubling their lead in the 43rd minute through Joel Furtado, whose powerful shot gave Guardian Angel goalkeeper Svelon Costa no chance.
Guardian Angel were left to rue their poor finishing as Paroda sealed their place in the final, where they will face Raia Sporting Club on October 20.
