DUBAI Morjim stunned F.C Siolim by a solitary goal
to enhance their chances of a quarter-final berth in
the third All-Goa Inter-village Invitation Football
Tournament at the Iranian Club stadium here yesterday.
Clifford Fernandes struck the winner from a free-kick
outside the area, five minutes into the first-half.
The victory was Morjims first in three matches after
a draw and a loss in their previous two encounters in
Group B. Morjim, with four points, move to third place
in the six-team group.
The defeat was a big blow for Siolim, who had three
points before the match and a win could have
consolidated their position in third place.
CAC Cansaulim head Group B with eight points after
four matches with Aldona United, who have seven
points, in second place.
Divar lead
Vanxim Divar lead Group A with maximum points of 12
from four matches. FR Angel Pilar, who have also
played four matches, are lying in second on seven
points followed in third place by Colva Jebel Ali
Hotel with four points.
Siolim, meanwhile, virtually dominated the second-half
proceedings against Morjim with all the action centred
in their opponents half. But a well-organised defence
by Nicholau Fernandes, Custodio Vales and player/coach
Maximus Menezes kept Siolim at bay.
The only break for Morjim was five minutes from the
end of the game when John Sequeira ran half a length
of the field but failed to finish off from close
range. Francis Fernandes of Siolim was named Man of
the Match.
Colva prevail
Colva Jebel Ali Hotel, meanwhile, defeated St Estevam
2-1 in the second match of the day. Danny Pereira
converted a spot kick to put Colva in front after ten
minutes before Sanjay Vassulkar doubled the scores in
the last minute of the session.
Avinash DSa also scored from the spot for St
Estevams consolation in the seventh minute after the
break. John DSouza of Colva was voted Man of the
match.
The tournament, organised by All Star Entertainment in
association with United Goans, is co-sponsored by Carl

LLC, Wood Group Engineering Services and MDC as
