PANJIM: Ronit Sports Club came from behind to beat Merces Club in the Goa Football Association Third Division League played at Taleigao ground, on Monday.
In a thrilling clash which witnessed a barren first session with missed easy sitters and also had some great saves, three second half goals, much to the delight of the spectators.
Riding on the fan support, Merces Club shot into the lead in the 53rd minute when an unmarked Vinay Fatarpekar headed in Sohan Phadte’s perfect corner.
It was predictable that there would be more goals in the game as Ronit Sports Club played some attacking game with short passes which easily broke the rival defence.
They soon levelled terms in the 68th minute through Rocky Fernandes.
Just when it looked like the teams would be sharing points, Ronit SC scored the match winner as Merces’ Audhut Kalangutkar scored an own goal in his effort to clear the ball.
Ronit SC were rewarded with the much deserved goal that gave them three vital points.
