Sesa Jrs hold St Savio
HERALD SPORTS REPORTER
Mapusa,March 11: Sesa Football Academy Juniors equalised after being a goal down to salvage a point as they drew 1-1 with St Savio Sports Club, Calangute in GFA’s Second Division League at Duler Stadium here on Friday. The match was goalless at the interval.
St Savio’s Neves Noronha notched up his second goal in two games, after guiding the ball past the Sesa custodian in the 71st minute.
Sesa midfielder Reagan Pereira also scored his second goal in consecutive matches by heading in a well guided cross.
On the half hour mark, Sesa lost striker Mauvin Borges through injury. His replacement Olwin Cardozo made an immediate impact, but his attempt was foiled on the goalline by St Savio defender Anil Naik.
Five minutes before the breather, Sesa’s Reagan Pereira saw his 35 yard free kick clip the top of the cross bar.
Changing over, the game got more aggressive and five players went into the referee’s book.
In the 71st, Neves popped up, to control a cross from the right and wonderfully shot to put St Savio ahead.
Sesa’s Reagan Pereira was instructed to move into the forward line and he did well to steer his header away from St Savio’s custodian and into the back of the net after receiving an equally brilliant cross from Frehauf Fernandes.
