PANJIM: Sporting Clube de Goa’s I-League 2 season took a turn with a closely contested 0-1 defeat to United Sports Club in their fourth match at the Kalyani Stadium, on Saturday.
The game saw a turning point in the 10th minute when United SC’s Tarak Hebram converted a penalty, awarded following a handball incident inside the box. Despite this early setback, Sporting Clube showed resilience and continued to press forward.
In the second half, Sporting Clube took control of possession, maintaining a strong attacking presence looking to equalise. Despite a number of promising chances, the team was unable to find the back of the net, with both teams battling hard but unable to convert their opportunities.
