The under-19s notched up their fifth successive victory by beating Rising Stars Sports Club 4-0 while the under-14s thrashed Churchill Bros Sports Club 6-0.
Salgaocar FC’s under-19 coach, Anthony Lavino Pereira, made several changes to his regular starting eleven.
They have now scored a total of 34 goals in their five outings, conceded just three goals. The score line on the day would have been a lot worse for the Rising Stars if not for the outstanding performance by their custodian under the bar. He pulled off some outstanding saves through the course of the game thereby restricting The Greens to just four goals.
The Rising Stars defended resolutely through the course of the first half, depending on the quick breaks to test the Salgaocar defence and keeper. The plan seemed to work wonderfully until the 55th minute when one of the defenders received his second booking of the game for dissent and given the marching orders.
Down to ten men, Rising Stars SC had everyone back and tried to frustrate the Salgaocar forwards but it was only a matter of time before the defence caved in.
In the 69th minute, a delightful cross from the left saw Harmanjot Singh swivel on the top of the box and smash a left-foot volley in the back of the net which left the goalkeeper a mute spectator.
Four minutes later, Denil Rebello tapped in from close range to make it 2-0 and soon, a third was added when Samuel Colaco met a delightful cross from Raja Rawat with a well placed header.
Denil Rebello got his second of the evening a minute from time as he smashed the ball from close range to complete the rout.
