The match was goalless at the interval. Sporting Goa took the lead twenty minutes from time when the Shillong Lajong custodian Rehenesh tried to make a short clearance to his defender, but it was well intercepted by the quick thinking Brandon Fernandes who curved the ball into the net from outside the box for the Flaming Oranje. Shillong were back on level terms inside four minutes when Brazilian Uilliams Souza Silva spun in a free kick from the right side which took an unusual bounce in front of goal and bobbled over the surprised Sporting Goa goalkeeper Ravi Kumar. Six minutes from time a beautiful ball from Syrian International Mahmoud Al Amna picked out Captain Odafa Okolie and he kept his cool to slip the ball past the goalkeeper to grab the winner for Sporting Goa. With this win Sporting Goa move to 20 points from eighteen games, just above Shillong Lajong on head to head who also have 20 points from eighteen matches. -- CONNECT WITH US: www.sportingclubedegoa.com www.sportingclubedegoa.wordpress.com www.facebook.com/sportingclubedegoa.officialpage www.twitter.com/sportingoa
