Milan Basumatary scored a goal in each half to help the AIFF Elite academy start their Under-19 I-league campaign from the Goa Zone with a 3-0 win over SESA Football Academy at Chowgule Sports Complex on Saturday.
SESA Football Academy, who holds an upper hand in head-to-head ties with AIFF Elite Academy, was quickly off the blocks and showed some pace and penetration in the early exchanges. But the game steadily progressed as scripted; the visitor's parked themselves at the back and waited for the chance to spring a counter attack.
Captain Daniel Lalhlimpuia playing in the attacking midfielder's position exhibited a dynamic role to link the play from meticulous midfielder's Malsawmzuala and Hayden Fernandes to the reckless Milan Basumatary; which proved very dangerous as the AIFF colts launched series of attack.
The deadlock was broken in 18th Minute, when Shahbaaz Khan's precise through-ball found its way into the path of Milan Basumatary, the striker cleverly evaded his markers before placing the ball to the far corner low past rival goalkeeper. The wind seemed to be in the AIFF sails as they bossed possession and dictated play till the interval. At half-time, the score was 1-0.
After the restart, the Goan outfit endeavoured to regain their composure but before they could, the Protagonist, Daniel Lalhlimpuia arrowed a half volley by to the top corner from the edge of the penalty area, after he was set up by Kamalpreet Singh.
The third goal was scored soon after, when Shahbaaz Khan displayed a marvellous piece of skill whipping the whole SESA Football Academy's defence. The right-back cleverly set-up Milan Basumatary and Milan made no mistake to score his second goal of the match.
The AIFF Elite Academy bagged three points with a comfortable 3-0 victory over SESA Football Academy. They will face Dempo SC in the second round at Cuncolim Ground at 3:30pm on December 18, 2014.
