GFA SECOND DIV LEAGUE
Sinquerim SC and Pilerne SC share the spoils
Sinquerim Sports Club and Pilerne Sports Club settled for a 2-2 draw in
the Goa Football Association Second Division League match played at
Duler Stadium, Mapusa, on Wednesday.
Both the teams begin the first half with a slow approach as they tried
to maintain possession on the field. While Pilerne SC played short
passes, Sinquerim used their width for the attacks. Ashish Gawas gave
Sinquerim the lead in the 24th minute and the side defended resolutely
to maintain the slender 1-0 lead at the break.
But more was expected from the game, as Pilerne SC pressed Sinquerim and
didn’t allow them to play a free-flow game. Their hard work and efforts
to find the equalising goal finally paid off when Anson D’Souza restored
parity at the hour mark.
Hardly had the joys settled down, Alister Fernandes further brought more
celebration in the Pilerne dugout as he gave them the lead in the very
next minute.
However, Pilerne’s hopes for three points were denied by Salil Parwar as
he made it all square in the 73rd minute. Sinquerim’s Dattaraj Tari was
cautioned for rough play.
In GFA Third Division League, Agassaim Youth Club registered a
hard-fought narrow 1-0 win over Aivao Youth Club, played at Taleigao
ground, on Wednesday.
Playing a barren first session, Akash Kankonkar scored the lone goal of
the match in the 83rd minute in favour of Agassaim.
Aivao Youth Club’s Samil Kankonkar and Akshay Gauns were cautioned for
rough play while Agassaim’s Devendra G was flashed yellow card.
