Margao: A 69th minute goal by Alvito Rodrigues enabled Super cup champions Sporting club de Goa edge out Salgaocar Sports club 1-0 and earned full points in the Hutch Goa professional Football league championship match being played here at Nehru Stadium Fatorda today. With this win, Sporting increased their point tally to 17 points from 10 outings, while Salgaocar remained on the same 15 points. In a lackluster first half, not a single good move was witnessed as the play was restricted to mid-field for most part of the first session. The match came to life only in the second half when Sporting scored the all important goal through Alvito Rodrigues following a flag kick taken by Wilton Gomes. Sporting who had an upper hand in the second half could have won by a bigger margin had they utilised the couple of good chances before them first in the 48th minute when Wilton Gomes unleashed a power packed shot which was beautifully punched over by Salgaocar goalkeeper Juje Siddi. Then in the 60th minute Adebayo Adewasi missed the target by inches following a flag kick by Nicholas Rodrigues. Sporting's Adebayo today received the Timex man of the match award. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Goa - 2005 Santosh Trophy Champions | | | | Support Soccer Activities at the grassroots in our villages | | Vacationing in Goa this year-end - Carry and distribute Soccer Balls | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
