Vasco Sports Club striker Chinedu Ejiogu slotted a goal each in either half as they registered a remarkable six-goal haul in a 6-1 thrashing of Curtorim Gymkhana in a round seven match of the Goa Professional League at the Duler Stadium in Mapusa on Sunday. At half time the score was 1-1.
Vasco scored the opener in the 11th minute after Hayson Velho made a cross to Chinedu Ejiogu, who slotted home. Curtorim made an early substitution in the 23rd minute by replacing Josly Costa with Clifton Fernandes. Eight minutes later, Anthony Dias scored the equalizer for Curtorim through a direct free-kick awarded by referee Tejas Nagvenkar.
Post resumption, Vasco returned all pumped up with an impenetrable defence, making it difficult for their rivals to advance in their half. In the 57th minute, Chinedu made a long solo run before scoring the second goal for his team. In the 64th minute, Hayson sent the ball to Agnelo D’souza who neatly headed the ball in to make it 3-1.
In the 68th minute Chinedu got injured and had to be replaced with Shubham Dessai. The substitute heaped more misery on Curtorim when he beautifully braced home the ball in the 72nd minute. Hayson then scored another goal for Vasco SC in the 85th minute. During the added-on time, Varney Kalon score with a fine finish to make it 6-1 in favour of Vasco SC.
Curtorim have lost all the seven matches played by them and are rooted at the bottom of the Pro League table. The punching bag of the league have so far conceded 33 goals and have managed to score only four goals.
