Nadkarni Cup 2019: FSI Sea view hold Millat FC, HDFC beat CBI
A late goal from Abhishek Bhopale help secure a point for FSI Sea view as they held Millat FC to 1-1 draw, meanwhile in the other game, HDFC outclass CBI.
The opening game of the group day saw HDFC picking a comfortable win over CBI. HDFC started out brightly dominating possession but failed to make inroads in CBI defence as both teams entered the break with 0-0 scoreline.
Lady luck finally shined brightly for HDFC as they were awarded a penalty, minutes in to the second half. However, Captain Titus missed his attempt as the score remained 0-0. Few minutes later, in the 54th minute, Ramesh Singh finally broke the dead lock when his strike found the back of the net. Midway through the second half, HDFC won a free-kick, Kevin Dsilva’s cross in to the box, which was duly converted by Prashant Rane as HDFC doubled the lead. The game ended with 2-0 score line as HDFC started their Nadkarni campaign with a bang.
The team played very well today the first half we concentrated on keeping the ball but in the second half the team was more aggressive and got two goals overall happy with the team performance
– Ramesh Singh (Man of the match)
HDFC (Ramesh Singh 54’, Prashant Rane 64’) 2 – 0 CBI
In the second game of the day, a late goal from Abhishek Bhopale help secure a point for FSI Sea view as they held Millat FC to 1-1 draw. Millat FC took the lead early in the game, when a through ball from Denzil found Tarique Ansari in space who duly converted his chance to make it 1-0. Early in the second half, FSI had an opportunity to pull things back on level terms when they were awarded a penalty. FSI continued trying and pushing men forward in search of equalizer, and they were soon awarded when Abhishek Bhopale struck the elusive winner.
We have a young squad of U18 players with few players with Elite division experience. Team is taking it as a warm up tournament. The game was good with high intensity. We missed a penalty but still managed to equalize in the second half. Looking forward to get results in next game against Mumbai city FC
– Vatsal Bhatia (Man of the match)
Millat FC (Tarique Ansari 2’) 1 – 1 FSI Sea View (Abhishek Bhopale 77’)
