Intelenet had defended doggedly in the first half and had kept Gadkari at bay.

Income Tax relied on Gadkari’s physical play to unsettle the Intelenet backline. Santosh Shinde made an incredible double save in the 42nd minute for Income Tax. Superb stuff!

The first half finished goalless as Intelenet had held firm at the back.

A four-goal blitz followed in the second which powered the taxmen to a comprehensive win.

The floodgates opened as Linekar Machado scored in the 61st minute.

Patel joined the party with goals in the 76th and 84th minutes to put the game beyond Intelenet’s reach. Gadkari slammed home the winner in the 91st minute to round it off.

Intelenet was clueless against the goal blitz!

The scoreline reflects the superiority displayed by Income Tax as they won by a canter.

Linekar Machado bagged a brace and Francisco Salin grabbed a goal as the second half ran on similar lines.

The first-half proceedings began brightly for  Kenkre under-19, who seemed determined to turnaround their misfortunes after falling-short in their last-outing against Millat F.C.

Early-on in the match, Kenkre under-19 circulated the ball with a fine combination of passes as they penetrated between the lines with quick-passing movements only to fail in the final-third area. After spending a short-time on the back-foot, when Income Tax looked to break into the lead from a couple of chances, Kenkre under-19 found their rhythm again – recording a handful of goalscoring runs in the process. Although, Kenkre under-19’s early dominance fast-faded as Income Tax steadily grew into the game and emerged as the better team in an attacking sense as the first-half progressed.

The wing-oriented play of Income Tax didn’t bloom as it took a swift through-ball from Madan Takalikar into the path of Mikhil Tandel to set the number 9 through in on a one-on-one opportunity against the Kenkre under-19 goalkeeper Adil Sameja, who having saved the initial effort could only see the rebound being put into the net by Mikhil Tandel in the 27th minute.

The first-half saw Kenkre under-19 fail to get past a block of Blue defenders, whereas Income Tax came agonizingly close to adding to their tally of one goal, first via Prathamesh Porwal and, then Kalpesh Rane dragged an even better chance wide of the left-hand post; both from corners.

The first-half ended with Kenkre under-19 clearly lacking players to hold the ball up-front as Income Tax produced a dominant performance in terms of scoring, creating and physicality, which largely benefited in having an upper-hand over the Kenkre ‘under-19’.

Both sides intended on scoring from the onset of second-half and, where Income Tax produced better chances, Kenkre under-19 were repeating the mistakes from the first-half – failing to add men inside the box to meet crosses and some below par finishes added to the disappointment.

With game needing more than Kenkre under-19 delivered, the Red Lizards upped their game in the closing 10 minutes and delivered one of their finest performances, which saw them dominate and hold Income Tax back, but a failure to create genuine goalscoring chances had the dominance go fruitless.

By the time, the referee blew the full-time whistle, Kenkre under-19 had made it difficult for themselves with a game in hand as their aspirations of qualifying for the next-round remains in shadow. For Income Tax, the story is a happy one!

Income Tax faced Byculla United in their Group D game on thursday. Byculla United drew their previous game whereas Income Tax  succumbed to a 3-1 defeat, a win today was much needed to take a step forward in qualifying for the playoffs from their group.

The first half entirely belonged to the Income Tax team who were in a mood for scoring goals. A half that saw them runover Byculla United by 4-0. Although the scoreline would have been much worse, it remained 4-0 at halftime. Number 8 Prathamesh Porwal opened the scoring the 18th minute when he made an excellent run from the left latching on to a through ball, calmly slotting it past the keeper in the left bottom corner. A much needed lead which would turn out to be a goalfest later. Few minutes later number 14 Monish Panchal doubled their lead scoring a  beauty  cutting in from the left and shooting from the edge of the box into the top right corner. Byculla United’s right hand side looked in utter dismay as they watched a second goal go in from their right hand side.

It was not over as number 15 Kalpesh Rane made it 3-0 in the 35th minute with a wonderful run from the left before calmly placing it past the keeper. And soon it was 4-0 when number 7 Alok Chauhan found himself completely unmarked  in the six yard area where he took his time before bulging the net. A thumping four goal lead at half time. Byculla United looked to have given up even before the half ended

The second seemed a formality for Income Tax as Byculla United set out to stop the scoreline from becoming more humiliating. They had the ball for most of the time in the second hand but failed to do anything meaningful in the final third. Income Tax had chances of their own to increase the scoreline and managed to do so when number 10 Madan Taklikar ran at the heart of the Byculla defense before shooting at the top right corner. The keeper managed to get a hand to the ball only to see it go in. A humiliating scoreline read 5-0 as the keeper could only take the ball out of his net on five different occasions

Any chance of a consolation goal from Byculla was denied by an Income Tax side which was in no mood to concede. As seen on the coach’s face, this Income Tax side managed to put their defeat behind,scoring five very good goals to register a win. Byculla United would be keen to assess this game as they would be eager to put this behind them.

Income Tax held St. Sebastian’s Boys in their own half early-on in the match, but left themselves dangerously open for St. Sebastian’s Boys to pounce on the counter.

This wasn’t entirely possible as St. Sebastian’s Boys played as many behind the ball to soak-up the pressure and no-one up-front to press in an attempt to win the ball higher-up the field. Though, at times, when St. Sebastian’s Boys did get a chance to launch an attack, they always looked threatening to score on the break. On a similar occasion, in the 27th minute, Ruseel D’Souza’s effort was kept-out from the Income Tax goal with a last-ditch block inside the box. With the half reaching the 30th minute mark, astonishingly both sides were yet to record an attempt on target.
Both teams grew into the game as the first-half neared its closure. While Income Tax became more incisive with their play around the final-third, St. Sebastian’s Boys looked more threatening on the break as they looked to have finally found a way to neutralize if not nullify the pressure exerted Income Tax.

In the 43rd minute, the match took a sudden twist, but not a surprising one. A first-time ball from Charles Fernandes into Mukesh Singh, who somehow managed to dodge the offside trap to go clean through against Pritesh Jadhav in the Income Tax goal. Mukesh Singh with all his gathered calmness dinked the ball over the goalkeeper and into the back of the net to give his side a 1-0 advantage going into the half-time break.

On the contrary, the second-45 minutes of the game started-off on a brighter note for St. Sebastian’s Boys, who looked to carry-on from where they concluded the first-45 minutes of play. But, as the half progressed, Income Tax settled into their natural rhythm, eventually. Income Tax seemed more-and-more desperate for an equalizer, and it was clearly visible in the way they approached: taking 50-50 chances, shooting from awkward angles and trying to shoot on goal every-now-and-then.

In the 60th minute, Income Tax were awarded a penalty after a foul by Rohan Das inside the 18-yard-box, which Prathamesh Porwal failed to covert in two attempts – hitting a timid rebound straight into the gloves of Abhi Mane.
The best chance from open-play for Income Tax came in the 80th minute, when Jovito D’Mello cut in a cross for Daniel D’Souza from the right-flank, but the former’s  shot on the half-turn went fractionally over the bar.
The goal did arrive, though. In the 86th minute, Camillio Narohna reached the end of a cross from the left as he glanced the ball over Abhi Mane in goal to pull his side back into the game, 4 minutes from time.
The game concluded at 1-1 with neither side entirely disappointed nor satisfied with the final result.
