U19 I-League:James and Albino help Salgaocar win

James Fernandes and Albino Pereira netted as Salgaocar registered a 2-0 win over Sporting Clube de Goa in the Aiff’s U-19 I- league (Goa zone), at Don Bosco ground, Panjim, on Friday.

Sporting Goa had their backbone missing today, which severely hindered their progress. Goalkeeper Alison Fernandes was still out injured, while tough tackling stopper back Roshan Singh, wing wizard Papai Biswas and Captain Charles Cardoz were all out through suspension.

The Flaming Oranje put up a good fight and rattled the cross bar on two separate occasions.

 In the first half Aniket Mandraker smashed the woodwork, while after resumption, substitute Mauvin Borges fired against the bar with a stinging drive from distance.

Sporting Goa was very unlucky as James Fernandes opened the scoring for Salgaocar in the third minute of injury time in the first half, finishing with a deft placement.Thirteen minutes into the second session Albino doubled Salgaocar’s lead from close distance.
