FC Goa hammer Bardez in Goa Pro League
Lalawmpuia scored the brace for the Gaurs on Monday afternoon.
FC Goa registered a thumping 5-1 win over Bardez FC in the Goa Professional League match played at Duler Stadium earlier today.
Bardez had two changes to their side following a 3-1 defeat against Salgaocar FC in the last match as their coach Savio D’Souza brought in Kalaiyarasan and Sandip Ajay in the starting XI, whereas Princeton Rebello was back in the lineup after missing out in the last match win over Corps of Signals. Brian Faria and Hayden Fernandes were the other two changes in the Goans lineup.
Bardez made a dream start to the match as they took just five minutes to open the tally when Carl D,Souza made a defence-splitting through pass to Ong Lepcha who brilliantly beat the onrushing Goan keeper Shubham Dhas and finished the ball in the net making it 1-0 for his side.
A few minutes later, they had another chance to double their lead when Richard Cardoz curled the ball in the box but Lepcha made no effort to convert the easy chance.
At the other end, Goan had the best chance to level the terms in the 24th minutes when Kingslee Fernandes set up Lalawmpuia in the box with a brilliant through pass but the striker’s curling shot was brilliantly blocked by Bardez keeper Urgen Pintso. They had another chance in the 34th minute when Imran Khan found Lalhmangaihsanga with a perfect corner but the defender’s weak header was easily cleared by the Bardez custodian Urgen.
