The scoreline surprised majority of the spectators as they didn’t expected to be a one sided affair.
The second match saw Kurla’s Holy Cross locking horns against a strong Ayesha Boys side. Holy Cross’s goalkeeper Sinclair proved to be the hero as made some terrific saves in the game, and further saved a vital penalty in the tie-breaker to send Holy Cross into the next round.
Sinclair was awarded with the best goalkeeper award last month in the Holy Cross 6-A Football Tournament. It won’t be surprising if he replicate this feat.
