GFA THIRD DIV LEAGUE
Aivao United trounce Agassaim YC
Aivao United Football Club reigned supreme over Agassaim Youth Club in
the Goa Football Association Third Division League match played at
Taleigao ground, on Sunday.
Shubham Shirwakar not only scored a hat-trick but his performance spoke
volumes on the field as the striker displayed his abilities and
brilliance –both –on and off the ball.
Shubham opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a solo effort,
thus giving his side a narrow 1-0 lead in the first session.
Crossing over, Shubham was once again at his best, as his presence
upfront tormented the opposition defence. He scored his second in the
59th minute before netting his third and completing his treble in the
73rd minute. Ketan Zambaulikar scored the fourth in the dying minutes of
the game. Agassaim were totally lost on the pitch as they just couldn’t
match their opponents. Aivao’s Rosario Rodrigues and Anish Gawas were
cautioned for rough play.

through Leston Martins. The winners led 2-0 at the break.
In the second half, Milagres SC played more of a long ball game playing
the ball across the field. Pilerne SC had no real chance in the game
