Sporting Clube, Velsao play goalless

PANJIM: Sporting Clube de Goa were held to a goalless draw by Velsao Pale in GFA’s Under-16 League at Velsao ground, on Wednesday. Vijay Rathod came close to scoring early on for Sporting Clube when he gave his marker the slip but saw his effort saved by the Velsao goalkeeper.

At the other end, Velsao’s Joel Dias tried to exploit the opportunities when he dribbled through on a mazy run but his shot was foiled by the Sporting Clube custodian Akshat Hadkonkar.
Sporting Clube David Baptista then tried a shot from distance, but it was easily gathered by the Velsao custodian.
Velsao started to move the ball around well and nearly found the catalyst to break the deadlock when Mylon Fernandes was presented with a one on one shooting chance, but he swept the ball wide of the post.
Moments later, Velsao were at it again when Princeton Rebello popped up but Akshat made another brave save to deny him.
Sporting Clube captain Stendly Fernandes clearly revelled in the high tempo of the game and showed some creativity when he used his fiery pace to check inside, but blasted just wide of the goal.
After the change of ends the players of both teams started to tire and could not match the accomplished performance of the first half.
