Dubai: Vanxim Diwar capitalised on a leaky Chinchinim
to clinch the title in the Pehla Cup All Goa
inter-village football tournament yesterday.
Played before a sizeable holiday crowd, Vanxim scored
on three occasions in quick succession after Benny
D’Costa had nullified a first-half strike from Randall
Pereira to make it 1-1.
Chinchinim have themselves to blame for the defeat.
Five minutes after equalising, Benny D’Costa blasted
straight into the goalkeeper instead of placing the
ball.
Vanxim overcame jittery moments and had the
opportunity to go ahead after one of the Chinchinim
defenders handled the ball inside the area.
Russell Rodrigues made no mistake from the spot to
give Vanxim the lead.
Within a few minutes, Vanxim got another easy scoring
chance after Chinchinim goalkeeper Casmiro Palha
stumbled while retreating, and Ivanhoe Gouveia chipped
over him to make it 3-1.
Ajay Vase put the issue beyond doubt with a minute
from the full-time whistle after he latched on to a
rebound and crashed in a stiff grounder.
Earlier in the quater finals Vaxim Divar beat AVC Otis
