Air India scores eight past Mumbai Strikers in Elite Division

7th October 2017, Mumbai: In the fourth game of MDFA – Mumbai District Football Associaton Elite Division, defending Champions Air India faced newly-promoted side Mumbai Strikers at Cooperage Stadium.

In what proved out to be a one-sided affair, Air India thumped Mumbai Strikers 8-1 to kick-start their campaign on a winning note.

It took Air India just a minute to open the scoring when former Union Bank of India (UBI) striker Pratik Koli scored a sublime goal. Ten minutes later, Air India doubled their lead.

Star attacker Aaron D’Costa scored in the 12th minute, but Mumbai Strikers pulled back one goal through Ravish D’Souza in the 18th minute.

Although Air India restored their two-goal lead when Pratik Koli scored his second goal in the 20th minute. Mumbai Strikers couldn’t win back the possession as the midfield of Air India which was led by evergreen Vijith Shetty proved too good for the newly-promoted side.

Air India’s Rinaldo Fernandes who was signed from Mumbai Customs opened his account on his debut after an impressive goal in the 32nd minute. Three minutes later, experienced defender Santosh Koli made it 5-1 before Aaron scored the sixth goal just before the half-time.

The match tempo regressed in the second-half after a mouth-watering goals-galore in the first. Ashkar CV scored the 7th goal in the 81st minute before Kiran Pandhare wrapped up the game in the 87th minute.
