Panaji: Sesa Football Academy will be looking to carry on their good work in the qualifying round,
when they take on Chirag United on Tuesday in their quarter-finals league of the Federation Cup, at Tilak Maidan, Vasco. Sesa, who improved after every outing beat Vasco and Sporting Clube de Goa in the qualifying stage to qualify for the quarter-finals league. Their gritty performance against Sporting Clube de Goa which they won via tie-breaker and home ground gives they advantage over their rivals. Sesa`s coach Clifford Chukwuma is pleased the way his boys have performed so far. Tomorrow will another challenge before us and I am sure my boys will do well and come out victors. The Kolkata side with four foreigners are a strong side where our defenders have to defend stoutly to keep away the challenge of the rival foreigners who will be looking to start their season campaign on a winning note. "My only worry is that our boys should convert the chances that come their way," said Chukwuma. Chirag United who finished eight in the last edition of the I-League has come without their Captain Arnab Mondal who is nursing an injury. Goalkeeper Somnath Khara has been given the responsibility to lead the team in his absence. The Kolkata team made an early exit from the tournament in the last edition at Guwahati. PTI
