PANJIM: United Boys of Ambaulim scored a thrilling 4-2 win over Colmorod Ratvaddo Sports Club in the Goa Football Association U-16 League match played at Quepem ground, on Tuesday.
Ambulim started the match on an attacking note and didn’t take long to score as Teron Fernandes ran down the left flank and dribbled past couple of rival defenders before shooting into the empty nets to give his side the lead.
Ambaulim looked dangerous in the opening quarter but the Colmorod Ratvaddo defence stood tall and managed to stop opposition’s runs.
However, despite stopping them for major part of the first half, Colmorod conceded the second just before the breather through Royal Oliveira.
Coming after the break, Ambaulim were a much stronger side and they scored their third through Alfiano Fernandes.
It looked all over for Colmorod, but two quick goals from Moises Andrade and Velon Rebello gave new life in the camp as they turned the deficit to one goal.
However, their joy was short-lived as Alfiano scored his second of the evening to restore the two-goal cushion. Ambaulim won the match 4-2.
