Salgaocar beat Mohammedan Sporting 3-0

Margao:

After meeting stiff resistance in the barren first half, Salgaocar outplayed Mohammedan Sporting to score a comprehensive 3-0 win in a National Football League (NFL) match at Nehru Stadium here today. Salgaocar, dominating the match throughout, scored all the goals in the second half through defender Bello Rasaq (59), substitute Samson Singh (77th) and Felix Ibrebru (90th). Mohammedan Sporting, who were pushed on the back foot had a close look at the rival goal only once when an Odafa header in the second half went over off a flag kick taken by Khalid Siddiqui. Salgaocar could have won by a bigger margin had their strikers Felix Ibrebru and Freed Mascarenhas directed their shots on target. Salgaocar, who beat East Bengal earlier, now have six points from their second successive win. Mohammedan Sporting, who have lost both their outings, are still to open their account. Referee Shaji Kurian booked Dharamjit Singh of Salgaocar for indecent behaviour. (PTI)
