Margao: Salgaocar and JCT split points after
playing a dull goalless draw in the eight round of the ONGC
I-league at Nehru stadium here today.
Salgaocar now have seven points from as many matches
while JCT have taken their tally to 10 points from eight
matches.
It was a disappointing outing for the crowd as the match
lacked much of goal mouth thrill.
JCT showed urgency in their attack in the first half with
Penn Ikechkwu Orji orchestrating most of the moves.
The Punjab side came close to scoring twice but failed to
beat keeper Kalyan Chaubey who collected Balwant Singh header
and a Daljit Singh shot.
On the other hand, much was expected from Salagoacar`s
new recruit Keita Mandjou but the Guyanese striker failed to
impress upfront and was replaced with Manjit Singh in the
second half.
He had an easy chance to put Salgaocar ahead in the dying
moments of the the first half but shot wide.
Ekene Ikenwa also had a good opportunity to score midway
in the first half but rival keeper Karanjit Singh thwarted
that attempt brilliantly.
Salgaocar played well in the second half and had more of
the exchanges but failed to find the break through even as
they created couple of chances.
Salgaocar defender Rouhollah Samieinia put up a good
show and was adjudged the man of the match.
Referee S Suresh showed yellow card to JCT`s Baldeep
Singh and Salgaocar`s Beevan D`mello.
