Mahindra downs Vasco

Margao: Mahindra United scored a goal in each half to down Vasco 2-0 in the sixth round of ONGC I-League at the Nehru Stadium here on Saturday.

Mahindra, which led 1-0 at half time, scored through Chidi Edeh (40th) and Sushil Kumar Singh (51st).

Mahindra now has six points from six matches, while Vasco remained at the bottom with one point.

Both the teams matched evenly in the first half as they had equal share of exchanges and scoring opportunities. Mahindra surged ahead in the 40th minute through a penalty after coming close to scoring on a couple of occasions.

Chidi was brought down by Vasco defender Fulganco Cardozo and referee A. Arjunan awarded a penalty which Chidi himself converted to give his team 1-0 up at half-time.

Mahindra increased the lead after the change of ends when Sushil sent an angular low shot that beat diving keeper Milagrio Medeira to find the net.

Mahindra coach Derrick Pereira was happy that his team collected three points. “We badly needed a win to put ourselves back on winning track,” stated Pereira. — PTI
