Taha Kachwala’s brace earns Kenkre FC an important win against PIFA Colaba
Taha Kachwala inspired Kenkre FC in their 4-2 victory against PIFA Colaba in the Mumbai District Football Association (MDFA) Elite Division at Cooperage Stadium on Monday evening.
Kenkre FC suffered a heavy 6-0 loss against Mumbai Customs few days back bounced back brilliantly who was boosted by Taha Kacchwala’s inclusion in the starting lineup.
Abuzar Beg opened the scoring on the half an hour mark before Arish Sutaria made it 2-0 early in the second half. Taha Kachwala too got on the score sheet but PIFA Colaba scored two quick goals late in the second-half through Irfan Khan and Nachiket Palav to take the match into a dramatic ending. Taha had other plans though who scored in the stoppage time to wrap up all three points for Kenkre FC.
The first-half didn’t had any goal scoring opportunities until and unless Abuzar Beg scored against the run of play on the 30th minute to give Kenkre FC an unlikely lead against PIFA Colaba who ironically looked more threatening than Kenkre FC in terms of attack.
Kenkre FC went into the break with the lead and quickly scored their second goal on the 50th minute through Arish Sutaria in the second-half. Arish brilliantly volleyed the ball into the back of the net from a long ball which hardly left any chance for PIFA Colaba’s goalkeeper Ismail Surve to make an unlikely save.
Nine minutes later, Kenkre’s Taha Kachwala broke the offside trap to astonishingly lob over the hapless goalkeeper to increase their lead by three goals. PIFA who were looking dangerous on counters was not as clinical as Kenkre FC which proved to be the major factor in the game.
PIFA Colaba did find the back of the net, not once but twice within six minutes to put Kenkre FC in trouble. Irfan Khan’s penalty on the 74th minute and Nachiket Palav’s fine strike on the 81st minute cut short the deficit from three goals to just one.
Having being desperate to equalize in the dying minutes PIFA Colaba got backfired when Kenkre added yet another goal through Taha Kachwala. The winger used his pace to went past three PIFA Colaba’s defender before rounding the goalkeeper to score Kenkre’s fourth and his second goal of the game.
This proved to be the last piece of the game as Kenkre FC emerged as victors.
