Goa United Sports Academy and Goan Football Club recorded easy wins in their respective encounters in the Goa Football Association’s U-14 League, on Thursday. While Goa United eased past El Shaddai Sports Club 3-1 at Poriat ground, Calangute, Goan FC made light work of Kelbai Sports Club with a 7-0 win.
At Tivim ground, it was a team effort which saw Goan FC dismantle a young Kelbai team. There were five different scorers for the young Gaurs, who displayed an eye-catching performance against their opponents.
Goan FC started the match on a slow pace but had their opponents under control. After much probing, the young Gaurs took the lead in the 19th minute through Ivo Costa. Kelbai SC managed to hold Goan FC with their defensive play, but not for long as Rohan Mangaonkar doubled the tally in the 23rd minute. Goan FC led 2-0 at the break.
Crossing over, Reezvon Fernandes took the match beyond Kelbai’s reach and Prachit Gaonkar scored the team’s fourth goal in the 55th minute. In the final quarter, Velrose Dias netted a brace, sandwiched with Prachit’s strike, who also managed to record a double.
