Indian Football Federation Kuwait (IFF): Friday 13th Nov 2009 was a day where two experienced teams clashed with two teams that were mere beginners. And it clearly showed on the score sheet.
Match 1: was played between AVC V/S Dominic Savio’s. AVC clearly had most of the ball possession right from word go. Within 9 minutes from the start of the game Kevin Vaz put AVC in front by neatly placing the ball behind the net. Dominic Savio’s lacked experience and it clearly showed as they were loosing the ball more often than not. Dominic Savio’s missed a number of chances to equalize but they could not grab onto the opportunities that came their way. In the mean time AVC looked strong and determined to score more goals. During 25th minute Agnelo Miranda scored AVC’s second goal of the game with a brilliantly timed long range shot which
left the goal keeper a mere spectator. Before the half time Kevin Vaz scored yet again to take the score to 3-0. Post half time the game did not change much as compared to the first half as AVC cruised along the second half of the game as well and just like the first half the Kevin Vaz struck once more and completed his Hat-Trick. Later in the second half goals came from Francis Fernandes, Kevin Vaz and Anthony Rodrigues. The Match ended with a score line of AVC (7) – Dominic Savio’s (0). Top scorer for the game was Kevin Vaz with brilliant 4 goals. The match was officiated by Tiago Fernandes as the center referee, Sarto Baptista and Richard Dixon as the Lines Official. Match 2: was played between Santos United V/S Indians. Indians are a newly formed team that is trying to stamp their authority and in the mean while Santos United has years of experienced under their belt. But Santos United was surprised as the Indians took the lead with the help of Joe who cleverly put the ball behind the net. But Santos proved their worth and came back strongly with the help of Roque Trevasso who equalized brilliantly and Basheer Kutty who put Santos United in front for the first time in the game. Upon half time the score remained 2-1. As the second half commenced Basheer Kutty struck once again to take the score to 3-1. Inexperience clearly showed upon the Indians who struggled to get a foot into the game and in the mean time Joseph Melon struck twice to move the score ahead at 5-1. The last strike came from Bonny Colaco from Santos Untied who sealed the game. The match ended with the score line of Santos united (6) – Indians (1). Top scorer for the game was Basheer Kutty and Joseph Melon who scored 2 goals each. The match was officiated by Milagres Crasto, Tiago Fernandes and Vincent Pereira as the Lines Official.
The game will be a good learning experience for the 2 upcoming teams Dominic Savio’s and Indians. The day saw as many as 14 Goals in total which is a record in itself for the record number of goals to be scored in a day.
