DUBAI ABC Benaulim (ICA) pipped Aldona United 4-2 on
penalties for a semifinals spot in the 4th All Goa
inter-village football tournament for the Pehla Cup at
the Iranian Club stadium here yesterday.
In an entertaining match, the scores were deadlocked
2-2 at the end of the regulation period with all the
four goals scored in the second-half. Roger Azavedo
powered Aldona United in front with a long shot four
minutes after the recess. But Russell struck the
leveller for ABC Benaulim, three minutes later.
After mounting attacks by both sides, it was ABC
Benaulim who took a 2-1 lead through Orlando before
Roger Azavedo struck again in the last minute for a
2-2 draw to force the penalty shoot-out.
During the shoot-out, Clifford Fernandes, Collin
DCruz, Orlando and Lynton DSouza converted for ABC
Benaulim while Roger Azavedo, who was later named man
of the match, and Jose DCruz scored for Aldona
United. Caurie Gonsalvis and Sydney Rodrigues missed.
On the match itself, Benaulim were more energetic in
their buildup with Lynton DSouza creating havoc in
the Aldona United defence. He made a series of
stunning runs down the right sending a couple of
dangerous crosses which could not get the finishing
touch. ABC had one chance off a freekick which saw
Volan DCosta head wide.
Aldona United also had their share of chances as Moses
Silva and Roger Azavedo spearheaded the offensive. In
an earlier match, John Sequeira scored to give Siolim
United a solitary goal victory over Anjuna for a
semifinal place in the plate competition.
4pm Plate competition: St. Anthony Pernem v Marriott
Boys Carmona; 5pm main tournament: St Anthony Siolim v
FC Siolim.
