MAPUSA:Sesa Football Academy came from a goal down at the interval to defeat Samaleshwari Sports Club 6-2 in the AIFF’s I-League 2nd Division football, at Cuttack, Tuesday.

Having played 48 hours earlier, Sesa Coach Clifford Chukwuma decided to rest a few players, but having gone down by a goal Sesa made a couple of substitutions at half time.

Within six minutes substitute Chikudi Chukwuma equalised for Sesa, but Samaleshwari soon regained the lead.

Rakshak Naik and Johhny Chand sprung into action and scored a brace each, before captain Pratesh Shirodkar added the sixth to take Sesa’s points tally to seven points from three games.

In Delhi, Vasco Sports Club picked up their first win of the campaign defeating KGF Academy 3-0.

Agnelo Colaco opened the scoring in the 14th minute through a penalty and on the half hour mark Jerose Oliveria took advantage of a defensive mistake to double Vasco’s lead.

In the second session, Isi Ali Isi added Vasco’s third. Vasco are now on four points from three matches.
