MARGAO
CAC Cansaulim downed Rossman Cruz Nagoa Sports Club Verna 2-0 in Guirdolim Panchayat Cup at Church Ground, Chandor.
The match started with the Verna boys dominating proceedings but they could not convert their chances. The match was confined to the midfield for much of the first half as both teams failed to score. Changing over, the Cansaulim lads tried to exert pressure but could not pierce the Verna defence.
In the 57th minute, Agnelo D'Souza provided a beautiful through ball to the hard-working Regan Soares, who connected well to score and put Cansaulim in the lead. Down by a goal, Verna tried to attack in numbers but Cansaulim caught them on a counter-attack and substitute player Alyan Dias, who had entered the field just 2 minutes before, scored the second goal for Cansaulim from top of the 18-yard box with a placement shot. Reegan Soares was awarded the Man of the match.

His father Prakash Velip is understandably excited about his son winning the gold and he hoped Sanskar's success will inspire more young students to take up aerobics in Goa.
