MARGAO

A thoroughly dominating display from Cuncolim Union saw them to record their second victory in the GFA Second Division League (Salcete Zone) as they demolished Sports and Welfare Club, Zaino Velim 5-0 at Government Village School playground, Cuncolim on Tuesday.

A hat-trick from Necil Pinto (11', 44' and in stoppage-time) and goals from Ceatano Fernandes (2') and Ashton Dias (55') routed Zaino lads. Cuncolim Union started the game in a whirlwind fashion and broke the deadlock in the second minute when striker Ceatano Fernandes beat goalkeeper Jeet Singh with a snapshot. The early goal seemed to have knocked the stuffing out of the visitors, who struggled to assert themselves on what was a bad pitch.

Necil Pinto doubled the lead in the 11th minute off an assist from Selgean Gracias. Cuncolim Union then made it 3-0 in the 44th minute when Ceatano Fernandes sent a beautiful cross into the box, and the move was finished by a waiting Necil Pinto with the rival defence all at sea.

Post resumption, Cuncolim Union continued to demolish the rivals' fragile defence and in the 55th minute, Ashton Dias placed the ball to the far corner of the net. There was no fightback from the Zaino team in the second half even though they had a few chances to grab a consolation goal. Necil Pinto fired a late goal to register his brace. With this win, Cuncolim Union have collected seven points from three matches.
