Maharashtra in the finals of the 4th Senior National Futsal Championship,
organised by Futsal Association of Goa (FAG) under the aegis of Futsal
Association of India (FAI), played at Peddem Sports Complex, Mapusa, on
Monday.

While Goa scored a resounding 8-3 win over Karnataka, Maharashtra edged
pass Mizoram 2-0 in the second semi-final. The North east side gave the
Maharashtra side a tough fight as both teams displayed some attacking
brand. The Maharashtra defence stood strong and denied the Mizoram side any
chance to sneak in and score. D. Singh scored from the spot to give his
team a lead in the much anticipated game.

But nothing seemed to have been working for the Mizoram team as Vishal
Magle added another to give the Maharashtra a well needed two goal lead in
the game. The Mizoram boys pushed hard to open their tally but a resolute
defence denied them all the chances.

In the other semifinal of the day, Goa thumped Karnataka 8-3. After
sneaking their way past Tamil Nadu in the quarterfinals 4-3 via
tie-breaker, Goa got the game underway with an early goal courtesy to
Michael Silva who scored in the 2nd minute itself.  The joy was short-lived
as Karnataka levelled in the 5th minute as Raj Kiran lobbed the ball in off
Sridhar’s pass.

The game intensified as Karnataka had a few potent attacks post the
equalizer through Sridhar and he made no mistake to give his team a 2-1
lead in the 7th minute. But Goa equalised in the next minute through
Fredson whose powerful shot was in no reach for the away keeper. Fredson
has been outstanding throughout the tournament. The National player showed
his class and why he is rated as the top player slotting him the equaliser.

On the other side, Karnataka’s Sridhar was close to scoring but placed his
shot high.  Fredsan Marshall scored again for Goa in the 18th minute to
give the team a 3-2 lead in the first half.  Moving into the second half,
Karnataka found the equalizer through Arbhaz Khan.

Both teams looked eager to move on and it was the home side who took the
lead through Savio Fernandes in the 8th minute of the second half. With a
one Goa cushion, Sridhar tried his luck but it was the Goan keeper who
saved the attempts created by the away team.

Nothing seemed to have stopped the Goa team as they ran riot and scored
four back to back goals in a span of ten minutes. Hannlum Furtado scored
two, Fredsan Marshall and Lyndon Cardozo scored one each in the second half
to snatch away a win from the away side and advance to the finals. The
finals will be played at Peddem Sports Complex, Mapusa, on December 12,

In the second semis, Both teams restricted to passing and crosses in the
initial minutes but it was Karnataka's Lilly who came close to scoring but
was denied by the Mumbai’s Shareiva.

For Karnataka, Tania Thomas tapped the ball over to Lilly who was in a one
on one situation with just the keeper to beat but she failed as her shot
went wide.

The next minutes saw both teams try to find the opener. First through
Sanjana who shot straight to the keepers arms for Karnataka while Lavanya
tapped the ball to Khushi but she failed to get a chance to tap it in for
Mumbai. Both teams were goalless in the first session.

For Mumbai, Lavanya was good with her passing but she failed to get support
of her other teammates further up.  Lilly was yet again close to scoring
for Mumbai but it was  the Karnataka keeper Vinaya who came out to save it.
On the counter attack Rasiga's shot for Karnataka hit the near post denying
them the opening goal.

Sanjana of Karnataka displayed some exciting skills and she lobbed the ball
over to Lilly who swiftly scored the first goal of the day to give the

second session.

On the counter attack for Mumbai, Andriette Rodrigues's shot was well kept
at bay by the keeper.Sanjana netted it in for Karnataka with a low shot in
the nets to give her team a 2-0 lead in the dying minutes.

attempts. Nothing changed the final score as Karnataka will now face hosts
Goa in the women's final at the Senior National Futsal Championship.

Earlier, Goa had an easy 5-0 win over Madhya Pradesh in the first
semi-finals of the women's category.

The Goan girls went into the game as strong contenders and this was evident
as they attacked from the start. Reema Noronha's shot on target was well
saved by the M.P keeper but she made no mistake to score in the next minute
off a free kick making it 1-0. The next minute Velanie Fernandes tipped the
ball to Reema who added her second for the day.

The Goan side dominated proceedings and Velanie tried her luck from far but
an alert keeper Mohimma Khatun saved it. Goa added another to their tally
with Velanie Fernandes netting in her fine strike in the back of the nets
in the 10th minute.

The away side had their share of chances too as Rani Bourmick was good at
her feet but she failed to get support from her other teammates.  In the
first session, the best attempt by Madhya Pradesh was created by Rani but
her goal bound shot was well caught by the goan custodian.

Moving over, Madhya Pradesh we're restricted to their side as Goa continued
with stringent attacks. And the home side added another through Velanie
five minutes into the second half which gave Goa a comfortable 4-0
lead.  Velanie
added another and completed her hat trick as the Madhya Pradesh side was
left in dismay with Goa's performance.

Shilpa Soni should have pulled one down for Madhya Pradesh but she failed
to time her run. Michel Castanha played an impressive role in the team with
her excellent clearances. Goa will now play   in the finals of the women's
category Futsal Championship.
