Don Bosco Oratory Fatorda derail St Anthony SC Assolda
CHANDOR: Don Bosco Oratory, Fatorda edged past St Anthony SC Assolda 4-3
via the tie-breaker to march to the semi-finals of 15th All Goa
Guirdolim Panchayat Cup, organised by Guirdolim Club and played at
Chandor Church ground, on Wednesday.
The match began with both teams showing attacking intent and it was
Fatorda who had the chance to take the lead as early as the 4th minute
but Minguel Barreto's power-packed shot ricochet off the crossbar. The
Fatorda lads were all over Assolda in the first 10 minutes of play.
Taking advantage of a counter-attack, Succour Fernandes of Assolda
floated the ball to Kevin Vaz in the 11th minute but much to the dismay
of the large gathering of Assolda supporters he ballooned over with only
the rival keeper to beat. By now both teams were attacking each other
but brilliant goalkeeping by both the keepers made sure the score
remained 0-0.
Just at the stroke of half time a corner kick taken by Fatorda’s Cliff
Barreto was chested down by Minguel Barreto in the path of Alfred
Noronha who had only the Assolda keeper to beat but he shot straight at
the keepers legs.
Changing over, both the teams played end to end football but either the
keepers were brilliant or the strikers were wasteful for both the teams.
In the dying minutes Minguel Barreto had a golden opportunity to seal
the match for Don Bosco Fatorda when he found himself with clear sight
of goal but he delayed taking the shot and was tackled by the Assolda
defenders. The match thus ended 0-0 at regulation time.
In the ensuing tie-breaker, Melvan, Valito, Ashley and Simon Edgar
scored for Fatorda while only Kevin, Vicky and Doigo were on target for
Assolda. Swizel Pereira, keeper of Fatorda saved 2 penalty kicks. Don
Bosco Oratory Fatorda will now meet Dicarpale Sports Club in the
semi-final on February 9.
