Mohammedan Sporting Club bowed out of the ongoing U-19 IFA Shield as they suffered a 0-4 defeat to the AIFF Elite Academy at Mohammedan Sporting ground on Thursday afternoon.
Naorem Roshan Singh’s (49th & 55th) barce and a goal each from Joysana Singh (2nd) and Lalnuntlunga (61st) sealed a convincing victory for the AIFF Elite Academy that guided them into the semifinals of the competition.
AIFF Elite Academy set the ball rolling from the start with swift short passes holding ball possession and went ahead as early as the 2nd minute through Joysana who guided Namgyal Bhutia’s free-kick into the back of the net with a delicate touch.
Having conceded early on, Mohammedan Sporting began attacking with intensity through Goutam Teli, Sachin Singh and Yenten Sherpa but rivals AIFF Elite Academy managed to hold on defending deep as the first half ended 1-0.
AIFF Elite Academy were the better team in the second half who were dominating the possession and within four minutes into the session they made it 2-0 through Roshan.
Meanwhile, Mohammedan Sporting almost pulled a goal back through Roshan Tamang in the 52nd minute but the midfielder’s effort was denied by the AIFF Elite Academy’s Aditya Patra on the far post.
Three minutes later, Mohammedan Sporting defense wilted under pressure as their citadel crumbled yet again when Roshan chipped one over from 25-yards out as keeper Syed Bin Abdul Qadir was nowhere near his goal.
Then in the 61st minute, Lalnuntlunga rounded off the tally scoring with an angular drive to complete yet another comfortable win for the reigning U-18 I-League champions.
