GFA THIRD DIVISION LEAGUE
Aivao YC prevail in the derby
Aivao Youth Club registered a solitary goal win over rivals Aivao United
Football Club in the Goa Football Association Third Division League
match played at Taleigao ground, on Friday.
In the local Dona Paula derby, the teams began the match on equal
footings as the sides took time to settle in the game. However, after
much probing Aivao Youth Club took the lead in the 38th minute when
Sachin Lokhande did the initial spade work before setting up Vinay
Shirvoikar for the team’s first. Once down by a goal, Aivao United
regrouped quickly and attacked and nearly scored the leveller but Aivao
Youth Club keeper came up with two brilliant saves to deny Ashely
Rodrigues and Duno Gauns just before the breather. The teams should have
been tied but Aivao YC keeper kept his side ahead.
Crossing over, it was more of a physical game as there were tackles
spraying in from all ends. In this bargain, both the teams were reduced
to 10 man in the later stages of the second half. Aivao YC’s Damodar
Naik and Aivao United FC’s Shubham Morajkar were sent off after
receiving double bookings. The score line remained 1-0 in favour of
Aivao Youth Youth Club till the final whistle.
