Benaulim defeated Margao 5 - 2 to preserve their unbeaten record in the Bahrain Goans Seven-a-side Football League for Father Felicio Diniz Trophy in a match played at Al Qadisiya ground, Salmaniya.
The highlight of the match was a hatrick by Tony Fernandes and Michael D'Souza struck twice for Benaulim. Margao reduced the margin through Ashraf Pediyakkal and through a penalty conversion by Arthur Lucas.
In the other match, Vasco earned a penalty early in the first half and their skipper Hilary Sanchez made no mistake from the spot. Verna tried very hard for the equaliser but stiff resistance from Vasco defence maintained the score line 1 - 0 till the end.
At the East Riffa open grounds, title contenders Navelim survived a scare from Chinchinim before emerging 2 -1 winners. In a tensed encounter, refree Sadanand Naik flashed 4 yellow cards during the match, and Navelim played the last 5 minutes with six men with Martin Pereira getting the marching orders. Chinchinim led by one goal at half time from a deft placement by Elvis Da Cunha. Crossing over Navelim gained control of the proceedings and equalised through substitute Ronnie Rebello, whose aerial scoop ballooned over the Chinchinim keeper Evans Sequeira. Chinchinim defender Edward Sequeira did well to prevent Navelim's hero of earlier matches Melroy Rebello to get his name on the scorer's list but failed to stop Ronnie from striking a match winner just before the final whistle.
In the last fourth round match, Tivim failed to impress and played shoddy football to slip to the bottom of the table with a 5 - 0 loss to Canacona. This match also witnessed a hatrick by Fahad Mohammed with Denzil Fernandes and Antonio Fernandes scoring one each.
The following matches are slated for this week in the league played under the patronage of Konkan Singers Club and co-sponsored by Alba. Wednesday : Tivim v/s Benaulim at Al Qadisiya ground at 7.45 p.m followed by Navelim v/s Vasco. At the East Riffa Open ground on Friday at 4.00 p.m Margao v/s Canacona followed by Verna v/s Chinchinim.
