Momin Aakef Abuzer’s ripper of a goal in the 45th minute stunned Reliance into submission! A peach of a goal that flew into the net from 30 yards out! The goalkeeper had no chance!

Sporting cut out Reliance’s passing options with a high pressing game as they threw men behind every ball.

They didn’t simply sit back and allow them to dictate terms. Reliance had their rhythm disrupted!

Sporting goalkeeper Chetan Dhanu pulled off a superb save from Gulab Rauth in the 4th minute. Rauth almost scored for Reliance in the 25th minute only to head wide from inside the area. Abuzer had a good shot parried away by the goalkeeper.

The first half ended 1-0 to Sporting as Reliance looked out of ideas against rock-solid defending. Thoi Singh Huidrom hit his shot wide from the left in the 53rd minute and Reliance pushed forward. Akash Khadka — Sporting’s David Beckham — impressed as he bombed in crosses from the right flank throughout.

Manish Kole hammered the final nail in the Reliance coffin with a goal in the 95th minute. 2-0 and Reliance had crumbled!

It was curtains for Reliance who clearly didn’t have a Plan B in place. The passing machine ground to a halt!

He scored off a 30-yarder in the 29th minute and left the Warriors goalkeeper for dead! Masih’s speed and physical play was a huge plus.

Both teams played at walking pace at the onset. Warriors played catch up in the first half which was virtually a midfield battle. Sporting held on to possession and created numerous chances and Warriors tried out the oft familiar long ball strategy.

Akash Khadka was the architect for Sporting’s build-up play on the right flank. His superb off-the-ball work opened up space for the Sporting strikers. Masih’s shot swiveled in the air for a second or two and went past the dive of the goalkeeper. It is a contender for the goal of the season!

Kevin Fernandes came close to scoring for Warriors as his cross went wide of the post. Warriors played catch up for most of the first half which finished 1-0 to Sporting.

Khadka cleverly switched flanks as he peppered the Warriors’ backline with crosses and long balls in the second half. Akshay Yadav came close to scoring a second goal and Chirag Baria and Khadka failed to apply the finishing touches. Warriors simply couldn’t find a way past the Sporting backline!

Avesh Shaikh (Mumbai Warriors) and Mustak Shaikh (Tarun Sporting) got their marching orders in the dying minutes for dissent.

The Goal kick by the goalie in the 21^st minute was intercepted well by Tabish Mulla who quickly tried an effort from the left flank but got into the feets of Ajinkya Umasare who made no mistake in tapping the ball past the keeper making it 1-0 for the Red team but soon in the 26^th minute Gaurav Petwal for the trailing side equalized from a flicked header in the box making it all square at half time.

The impasse between Tarun Sporting and Godrej & Boyce in the second half, until the 51^st minute was broken when Tabish Mulla made it easy from the left flank, dribbling past three opponent players and scoring a cracker from the centre just outside the box into the bracket leaving the keeper no chance but collect it from the back of the net.

The second-half goal turned out to be the match-winning goal of the game sealing it all for the Blues.

Resulting full-time scoreline: Godrej & Boyce 1-2 Tarun Transport.
