Unbeaten in 14 games in all competitions this season, Salgaocar FC will look to seal the Goa Pro League title when they take on Santa Cruz Club of Cavelossim in the Super League phase tomorrow at the SAG ground in Benaulim.6 points clear at the top, with a game in hand, the Greens need just 1 point from the remaining 3 matches to reclaim the title they last won in 2012/13. It will be their second title this season, having clinched the Durand Cup, played in Goa for the very first time, earlier this month.
Salgaocar FC have amassed 26 points from their 10 games thus far, courtesy 8 wins and only 2 draws. As and when the Greens clinch the title, it shall be the 21st occasion on which they will be crowned 'Champions' of Goa."We have been training extremely hard since the start of the season and I'm glad the boys have been able to execute most of what we've practised on the training ground. We will look to give another good account of ourselves tomorrow," commented coach Derrick Pereira who insists on taking it one game at a time.
"Winning the Durand Cup has done the confidence of the youngsters a world of good. In football, self-belief is an important virtue," he added.Through the course of the 10 games they have played thus far in the Goa Pro League, such has been the dominance and superiority, that Salgaocar FC have rarely looked like losing. On most occasions, they have scored early and gone to assert their superiority.
However, even on the rare occasion when they did concede first, like in the last game against Dempo SC, the Greens settled in well after the initial setback and rallied to reverse the deficit through a stoppage time winner. In addition, another positive is the fact that nine different players have found the back of the net.Salgaocar FC's pending fixtures include games against Churchill Brothers SC on December 1 and Laxmi Prasad SC on December 4.
