BPCL pip Bombay Boyz

EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE  
JUNE 21: Dominic D'Silva's solitary strike in the second-half helped BPCL (Marketing) defeating Bombay Boyz 1-0 in Pool A of the MDFA-conducted Third Division football league match at the St Xavier's ground, Parel, today.

Dominic chipped the ball over Kartik Panja -- Bombay Boyz keeper -- in the 71st minute to secure his side a much needed win.

Bombay Boyz started off well as they contained the BPCL forwards especially in the first-half in which they dictated terms.

Bombay Boyz forwards Bosco Elly, Gordon Noronha and Chagan Chauhan had several scoring opportunities but they seemed to have kept their shooting boots at home.

From the beginning of second-half, BPCL applied pressure and their concerted efforts finally bore fruits with a goal in the 26th minute.

BPCL's Roydon Rodrigues neatly relayed the ball to mid-fielder Mujib Khan. The latter seeing substitute Dominic D'Silva well-placed, inside the box, passed the ball to Dominic who broke free of the Bombay Boyz defence and chipped the ball overgoalkeeper Kartic Panja into goal to give BPCL the lead.

Thereafter, Bombay Boyz took control of the proceedings and tormented the BPCL defence. But BPCL defenders Vijay Waghela and Chidabaram Naik stood rock-like in the BPCL rearguard and thwarted the frequent raids of Bombay Boyz.

To add to the woes, BPCL goalkeeper Sultan Qazi came up with good saves when all seemed lost for BPCL.
