On the other end, in the 2nd minute, Chapora YS’s Veron Pereira sent a measured cross to Harshad Madkaikar, whose header was brilliantly blocked by Calangute Association’s custodian. In a counter-attack, Calangute Association’s Jovito Fernandes moved dangerously inside the 18-yard box from the left flank but shot out.
Chapora YS’s Soham Sheticar once again failed to beat Calangute Association’s custodian Aditya in a one-to-one situation. Calangute Association’s custodian Aditya, in the process of clearing the ball, collided with Soham, prompting Referee Tejas Nagvenkar to point to the penalty spot. Calangute Association’s Veron Pereira stepped up for the spot-kick but saw his effort saved by custodian Aditya.
In the very next minute, Calangute Association’s Suraj Kumar darted inside the penalty box, dribbling past the onrushing Chapora YS goalkeeper Tanesh Kankonkar, and scored, 1-0.
As the match progressed, Calangute Association’s goalkeeper Aditya once again came to his team’s rescue as he thwarted Chapora YS’s Soham Sheticar in a one-to-one situation. Substitute Arun Naik collected a square pass from Vishesh Nasnodkar and made it 2-0.
