Hindustan FC started its Delhi Senior Division League campaign with a goalless draw against Youngmen FC at the CWG Sports Complex here today.
Hindustan FC were bang on target right in the 2nd minutes of the game, just to be denied a lead by the diving Youngmen FC goalkeeper. The former champions continued in the same vein and unleashed flurry of attacks.
Nigerian recruit O.O. Sola’s solo effort from just outside the box kissed the woodwork in the 8th minute before Mehra’s scorcher went straight to the keeper.
On the other side of the field, Hindustan FC goalkeeper, Rajat Guha came into action and made a sliding tackle to deny a Youngmen striker a sniff at the goal, who had just the experienced custodian to beat.
It was Hindustan FC all over again in the 2nd half, having many sniffs at the goal but all in vain. Former Mohun Bagan skipper Rishi Kapoor made a left footed attempt from 30 yards out which missed the near post by inches.
Thereafter both the side went hard at each other seeking for the winner, but none managed to get that elusive goal as both side had to be content with one point.
Hindustan FC next play Punjab Heroes on Tuesday, 24th December in a 12:45 PM kick off.
