MARGAO
Dunes SC, Mandrem, edged past Saligao United 2-1 to enter the North zone final in the Goa Tiger Cup 2022 All-Goa Inter-Village football tournament, organised by Goa United Sports Academy, at Poriat ground, Calangute, on Thursday.
The teams were cautious in the first session and couldn’t find the breakthrough. The ball was mostly restricted to the midfield.
However, when the second half commenced, Dunes had the upper hand and eventually broke the deadlock in the 39th minute through Amir Salgaokar.
Pratik Kannaik further inflated the lead with a fine finish in the 55th minute.
Saligao did manage to pull a goal back when experienced forward Latesh Mandrekar converted a spot kick but it was not enough for a comeback.
Dunes’ Amir was adjudged Man-of-the-Match.
