Bengaluru FC Academy U-13s finished in third place in the inaugural edition of the U-13 JSW Youth Cup with a 3-0 victory over FC Goa in Bellary on Friday, April 29. Second-half goals from S Chinmay (46′), Ishan Chatur (50′), and Aalhaad Hate (58′) saw the Young Blues end their campaign on a winning note.
FC Goa began the game with a resolute backline that shut Bengaluru out in the first half. The Young Blues were reduced to efforts from outside the 18-yard-box but failed to break the deadlock. Atul Pulipra came closest for Ajay Chorge’s side, when his shot from distance troubled the goalkeeper, but it was pushed behind for a corner.
Into the second half, Bengaluru FC came out in full force and scored three times with Chinmay the first to find the back of the net with a strike from distance. The midfielder, having picked the ball up right outside the opponent’s box, launched one into the top right corner to make it 1-0.
Only four minutes later, Ishan was put through on goal by Miran Kaping and dinked the ball over Vladmer Gomes in the Goa goal to double the Bengaluru FC U-13s’ lead. Aalhaad sealed victory for Bengaluru FC with his fourth goal of the tournament.
Aalhaad’s strike made him the top-scorer for the Young Blues, who continue their development at Bengaluru FC’s Residential Academy in Bellary, Karnataka.
