During the first-half of footballing action, Bombay Port Trust took the opportunity to take an early lead inside 10 minutes. No.9 Praptish N. scored in the 10th minute beating Krishna Iyer in goal for Bombay F.C. with a delightful finish into the left-corner; unmarked inside the 18-yard-box from a free-kick, the no.9 calmly controlled the ball and slotted the ball into the net.

Bombay Port Trust dominated the first-20 minutes of the first-half, and came nail-bitingly close to a second-goal. A fine effort from outside the box in the 18th minute from no.12 Savio Rodrigues of Bombay Port Trust was inches away from going into the left-corner until the goalkeeper stepped-up to put a strong-hand in-between to parry-away from danger. Bombay Port Trust, largely dominated the first-half imposing attacking pressure on Bombay F.C., but the side didn’t prove decisive enough to convert any further chances; ending the half-time on positive note.

Prior to the start of second-half, there was a minute’s silence for Bombay F.C.’s no.9 Aditya Bane’s late-brother Ashutosh Bane, who lost his life to cancer last-month.

The game kicked-off on the same pitch, and despite the fact that Bombay Port Trust dominated the proceedings, largely it was Bombay F.C. who enjoyed a better attacking spell in the second-half.

After some 25 minutes of goal-short action and a number of chances wasted, Bombay Port Trust doubled their goal-scoring tally in the 73rd minute to 2 through their no.10 Kashif Ansari, who finished off from a tight angle from the right-side into the bottom left corner after initial good work to get past his marker. Later, Bombay Port Trust’s no.10 Kashif Ansari hit the crossbar only to score himself again in the 75th to give his side a 3 goal lead in the last-minute.
Overall it was match which was kept for the taking, and Bombay Port Trust took their chances to take maximum points from an otherwise balanced encounter.

Royesten in action against Chemburites

It was a calculative performance by Bombay FC as they out played Chemburites and got a 3-0 win in their 1st Division League match of Mumbai District Football Association (MDFA) played at St. Xavier’s ground, Parel on Sunday afternoon.

Bombay FC got their first goal through Dylan with a neat finish in the 29th minute. It was the quality work from the Bombay FC midfield that they kept penetrating the Chemburites defence which resulted soon after 37th minute when Senario got an opportunity to score, and yes he did.

In the 2nd half Siddhant had a good time in the middle, jointly supported by Imran and they kept the momentum going for Bombay FC, but another player who had an outstanding display in the middle was Roysten with his cool head and sensible play. Just 10 minutes before the final whistle, the right winger Senario opened the play for the 3rd goal with an accurate cross towards Dylan who did justice to it by making no mistake with the finish.

Certainly it was a bad day for Chemburites as they couldn’t keep up to the quality of Bombay FC and struggled to keep possession of the ball.

Bombay FC do look like a close knit group, soon after the game they internally decide that the ‘Best Player Of The Match’ was Roysten for his brilliant display throughout the game. This team is surely a one to watch out for in this group of the MDFA 1st Division.
