MARGAO
Uguem's Rising Club produced a solid, spirited performance to blank Fr Agnel Youth Sports Club, Paroda 2-0 to advance into the quarter-finals of All Goa 9th Cuncolim Union Trophy inter village football tournament organised by Cuncolim Union at Government Village School Playground, Cuncolim on Thursday. Uguem's Rising Club led 1-0 at the breather.
Rising Club started in dominant fashion and opened the scoring when Allister D'Souza found the back of the net in the 19th minute with a power-packed shot. Stung by the early reversal, Fr Agnel Youth Sports Club regrouped quickly and nearly levelled the scores but striker Lester Menezes's snap shot hit the crossbar much to the dismay of Paroda supporters.
After switching ends, Uguem's Rising Club dominated the proceedings but their forwards were off target. But Elitio Gomes put the issue beyond doubt in the 41st minute when he punished the rival goalkeeper with a neat finish.
