MARGAO
Sesa Football Academy stunned Salgaocar FC 10-9 via sudden death tie-breaker to enter the final of the 18th Goa Police Cup at Duler stadium, Mapusa, on Monday. Early in the game, Sesa’s Mohamed Faheez made a daunting run from the half and played the ball towards Aston Rodrigues who put it on the platter for Faheez just to guide it into the empty net to make it 1-0. Soon, in the 24th minute, Salgaocar’s Velentinho Nazareth swung in a dangerous cross which fell onto the feet of Sesa’s Akash Kudnekar whose attempted clearance almost went into his own net. Just after the break, the Green Brigade regrouped and looked more promising going forward. A few minutes later, Shubham Shirvoikar made it 1-1 after being played through by Samuel Costa. In the 80th minute, Salgaocar took the lead after Siddhant Kundaikar swung in a corner towards Saurabh Patil whose header drilled past the rival goalkeeper 2-1.
