Dempo Sports Club scored a fluent 4-0 win over Vasco Sports Club in a Goa Football Association Goa Professional League match played at Ella ground, Old Goa,
on Friday.
The win takes the Golden Eagles to 41 points from 17 games while Vasco SC are on sixth position with 26 points from 19 games. Dempo SC have now extended their lead at the top to five points.
Playing at their fortress, the Golden Eagles had to wait until the half hour mark to take the lead and they managed to score through Joaquim Abranches, who capitalised on Vasco custodian Sanju’s mistake, when he dropped the ball on collection in the box and the former FC Goa striker was quick to grab the opportunity to score the first goal.
Vasco Sports Club had their chance through Aman Govekar, but Dempo keeper Tyson Caido came up with a brilliant save to deny the lad. Dempo SC doubled the lead just before the breather, courtesy yet another goalkeeping howler from Sanju. The custodian fumbled while collecting a cross from Floyd Pereira, which landed in the goal.
Crossing over, Dempo Sports Club added two more goals. Pedro Gonsalves scored the third in the 68th minute when he made his way from the centre and scored past the helpless keeper. Vasco conceded their fourth in added time when Desmon Pereira beautifully chipped the ball over an onrushing
goalkeeper.
