MARGAO
Salgaocar FC thumped Santa Cruz Club of Cavelossim 5-1 in the U-20 Taca Goa league at Cansaulim sports complex on Friday. The winners led 4-0 at the breather.
The Greens were up and running right from the outset and quickly raced to a 3-0 lead in the first seven minutes. The first of those was scored in the very first minute as Stefen Fernandes broke free on the right and his cross saw Yamnur Pinjar bury home with a powerful header. In the 3rd minute, Salgaocar doubled their lead as Myron Borges played Stefen through, the last named beating the keeper with a deft touch.
Yamnur then found the back of the net with his head for the second time in the evening as he met a fine cross from Klins Mendes. Thereafter, the Cavelossim lads settled and did create a few decent opportunities but Avinash did brilliantly under the Salgaocar bar to keep them at bay.
With seven minutes to go to half time, Salgaocar scored their fourth the lanky Saurabh Patil headed home from a Domnic Soares Jr corner. It could have been five in favour of the Greens soon after resumption but Jeet kept out Stefen after being set up by Klins.
The fifth did however come in the 68th minute as Klins played a defense splitting pass that saw Stefen calmly finish for his second of the evening. Cavelossim did find a consolation in the 72nd minute as Avinash misjudged a header from distance. Salgaocar could have added a few more in the final 15 minutes but their strikers were wasteful. The Greens take on Dempo SC in their final Taca Goa encounter.
