Margao: Chirag United defeated a fighting
Salgaocar 2-1 in the 17th round of the I-League at the Nehru
Stadium here today.
Chirag United, who led 2-0 at half time scored through
Josimar Da Silva Martins (13th minute) and Ashim Biswas

Salgaocar, however, fought back in the second half and
reduced the margin through substitute Beevan D`Mello (57th).
Salgaocar failed to display the same fighting spirit
which they showed against Dempo.
The Goan side`s defence looked ineffective in Luciano
Sabrosa`s absence as they allowed lot of space to the rival
strikers, which resulted in two goals in the first half.
Chirag United took the lead in the 13th minute through
a penalty after Joshimar Da Silva was brought down inside the
box by Milagres Gonsalves.
Ashim, who missed a couple of scoring chances, then
doubled the lead a minute before the break.
Salgaocar brought in fresh legs in Lestor Fernandes and
D`Mello in place of injured Rino Anto and Keita Mandjou in the
second half, and their move yielded result soon.
D`Mello reduced the margin in the 57th minute heading
home a Rocus Lamare corner.
