AMBELIM: Sarzora Sports Club had to wait until the shoot-out to get better of Dicarpale Sports Club to advance in the Lourdes Soccer Cup, organised by Ambelim Sports Club, at Ambelim ground, on Sunday.
Fielding their strongest XI both teams got the match underway with an attacking intent from the first whistle. Sarzora’s Alroy Moniz and Alton Menezes were the livewire in the forefront as they eased their way past the rival defence with ease but just couldn’t get past the only hurdle –Dicarpale SC keeper Sachin Astekar – who pulled off stunning saves to keep his side in the game, early in the first quarter.
Crossing over, it was a midfield affair as both teams tried to dominate the match, but despite all efforts, the game was push into tie-breaker.
In the shootout, Sarzora scored through Steven Fernandes, Alroz Moniz, Joyson Fernandes, M Ferrao and Ryan Fernandes, while Paxton Gomes, Joel Colaco, Sachin Astekar and Lessai Raikar scored for Dicarpale SC.
