DBO Fatorda beat Chandor Club; Curtorim in quarters
MARGAO: Don Bosco Oratory Fatorda blanked Chandor Club 2-0 to enter in the quarter-finals of the Curtorim Villagers Cup inter village football tournament, organized by Curtorim Gymkhana and played at St Alex church ground, Curtorim on Thursday.
DBO Fatorda were clearly a dominating side from the first whistle as they gave no room for their opposition to settle into the game. Velito Miranda handed the Fatord side an early 4th minute lead. The winners dominated the first half and enjoyed better ball possession. Crossing over, Chandor Club did try to make some inroads but they just couldn’t get past the rival defence.
Just when Chandor seemed to find the equaliser after their constant raids, DBO scored their second at the hour mark through Hanslum Furtado. The goal killed hopes of any comeback of Chandor Club.

In the ensuing tie-breaker, Macwil, Nevil and James Fernandes scored for Curtorim Gymkhana while only Lloyd Dias shoot at the target for St Rock’s YC. Johnson Bhagot saved three sport kicks of majorda.
