ISL side FC Goa begun their Durand Cup campaign with a hard-earned 2-0 victory over regimental side Army Green Football Team and a win tomorrow will cement their place in the quarter finals whereas Sudeva Delhi FC will look to earn their first 3 points and stay afloat in the tournament.

Speaking ahead of the game, Sudeva Delhi Head Coach, Chencho Dorji shared his thoughts and said, “Well, for us every team is a strong opponent. But as for FC Goa they are an experienced side and have foreign players with great experience. Our aim is to give our best and ensure we win. Looking forward to a great match. We don’t have any special plans, but just want to enjoy the game.”

FC Goa Head Coach Juan Ferrando Fenoll too spoke about this important match. He said, “The truth is that we are not thinking about the next round, we are thinking about playing against Sudeva. Sudeva will be a difficult team to play against, it is a professional team. For us, it is important to put attention for 90 mins, try to do a good game and earn 3 points. This is our target.” He also added, “Tomorrow will be more difficult. Sudeva lost the last game by only 1-0. They have very good players and are a good team. They have pressure to get their first three points and hence will be more difficult.”

This edition of the Durand Cup also marks the maiden appearance for either side in Asia’s oldest football tournament.

Group B, also dubbed as the “Group of Death”, features ISL heavyweights FC Goa and 2016 Durand Cup winners Army Green, so it is crucial for both Jamshedpur and Sudeva Delhi to get the ball rolling in their favour.

While Jamshedpur are favourites for the encounter considering their presence in the upper echelons of the ISL, Sudeva Delhi will relish their chances with a squad full of youth. As a matter of fact, only four senior team players of the Sudeva squad have travelled for the Durand Cup.

Sudeva Delhi Head Coach, ChenchoDorji has been relishing the opportunity to play in the Durand Cup and has mentioned in the build-up to the game how important a platform the tournament is for his squad filled with youth.

Drawn into the toughest out of the four groups, Coach Dorji isn’t at all bothered but rather looking ahead to the challenge. If his young boys can ace the group, there’s nothing holding them back.
