With only some casual attempts at both ends, it looked like both team would head into half time without making any difference to the scoreboard. But in the 39th minute, Trijoy made an incredible run on the left to cut through two Kevnem defenders before being brought down by third inside the box, the referee had no hesitations in pointing to the spot. Sangram who was given the armband took up the responsibility and sending Kevnem keeper on the wrong side to put the Oranje side ahead.

Crossing over Sporting Goa capitalised on the high backline strategy of Kevnem. Sporting Goa’s Osbourne Fernandes made a good run on the right to send in an excellent cross finding Trijoy on the left, the latter struck a jaw-dropping left footed volley to almost seal the game in favour of young Oranje. Kevnem’s best opportunity came late in the second half when Dwayne Britto and Yogesh Jhalmi combined well in the mid for the latter to place the ball past Sporting Goa custodian Karol but defender Saliston D’Costa made a dazzling goal line clearance ensuring no change in the scoreboard.

With this win, Sporting Goa has collected 12 points from five matches played.
