MARGAO
Salgaocar FC recorded back to back wins in the GFA Under-18 League as they defeated Churchill Brothers 2-1 at Cansaulim Sports Complex, on Thursday.Salgaocar enjoyed a greater ball possession and scored through substitute Kaushik Negi and Levy Pereira. Kaushik came on as a forced replacement after Shreenath got injured. Kaushik punished the rival goalkeeper with a thumping header off a flag kick taken by Rollwin Almeida. Salgaocar had a couple of scoring chances to go 2-0 up but went into the break with a one-goal cushion.
However they doubled the lead soon after crossing over. Striker Levy Pereira intercepted the ball from a team-mate and outwitted a couple of defenders and placed the ball to the far corner of the net in the 46th minute. Ribhav Sardessai created problems for the Churchill defence and came close to scoring but the rival goalkeeper thwarted his move.
Churchill Brothers finally managed to get a goal in the stoppage time through the boots of Jeneton D'Silva.
