Goa, Mar 31: Sporting Clube de Goa avenged their first leg loss to Churchill
Bros by scoring a resounding 4-0 win, in the ONGC Cup 9th National Football
League match played at Nehru stadium, Margao, man of the match Bibiano
Fernandes opened Sporting's account with a goal in the 64th minute, following a
barren first half, when he surprised the Churchill defenders with a speedy
strike off a pass from Adebayo. Thereafter the floodgates seemed to have opened
as goals came in a hurry as Sporting breached the rival goal thrice in 7
minutes.
First it was Joseph Pereira scoring a brace with strikes in the 72nd and 74th
minutes and then it was Nigerian Adebayo Adewusi who mesmerized goalkeeper
Vinay Singh with a solo effort to complete the rout in the 79th minute.
Joseph who relatively had a sedate first half sprang to life in the second with
two well timed goals. In a clear case of opportunism Joseph latched on to a
loose ball inside the box when Churchill defender Subashish Choudhary tried to
thwart a dangerous Niclau Borges before slotting home Sporting's second goal in
the 72nd minute. Two minutes later, Joseph slammed home off a deflection from
rival defender who was attempting to clear a Dudu header from the left.
