MARGAO: Cuncolim Union thumped Clube Sao Miguel (CSM) Taleigao 2-0 to move into the semi-finals of the Catao Cup 8-a-side All-Goa football tournament organized by Union of Chinchinim Villagers, at the Chinchinim ground, on Monday.
After staring brightly, Taleigao squandered a golden opportunity to surge ahead in the 11th minute as Sharkaan Naik shot wide from an ideal position after being fed on the platter by Jayandra Kunkoliekar.
At the other end, Cuncolim Union showed promise through Saurab Fatrepekar attempt in the 21st minute but the latter’s dangerous move was foiled by the Taleigao defence.
In the second half, Cuncolim Union stepped up their game as Krishna Shirodkar’s long ranger missed the target but they managed to break the deadlock in the 40th minute when Frazier Fernandes unleashed a rasping drive after an assist from Daulat.
Soon, in the 45th minute, Frazier could have scored his second goal of the evening after an intelligent cross from Clifton Fernandes but the formers header missed the target.
They continued to attack and Frazier finally secured his brace in the 50th minute with a powerful grounder.
