Wilred Leisure SC shunted out Carmona Sports Club 5-4 via tiebreaker to move into the semifinals of the Guirdolim Panchayat Cup inter-village football tournament at Church Ground, Chandor on Friday.
Wilred made the first move but Carmona keeper Aaren displayed brilliant reflexes to thwart Milagres Fernandes from close range. Dylon of Carmona then missed a golden opportunity to score as he delayed in taking a shot and was dispossessed by Manuel Castanha in the Curtorim defence.

In the tiebreaker, Mairon, Amar, Aliston, Milagres and Fredy were on target with Joy missing while for Carmona, Aaren, Bleston, Dylon and Blayln scored while the kicks of Eltrin and Sanford were saved by Wilred keeper Ignatius Gomes, who received the Man of the Match award from Marinho Dias.
