Good show by Kerala XI
KANNUR: Kerala XI played fascinating football to outplay Mohammedan AC (Kolkata) 2-0 in the second E.K. Nayanar Memorial Gold Cup tournament at the Municipal Jawahar Stadium here on Wednesday. O.K. Javed scored both the goals and was named ‘man of the match.’
The win, its first, has raised hopes of a semifinal berth for the home side, while the Kolkatans crashed out with their second defeat in as many days.
It was a near flawless performance from Kerala XI. It attacked with gusto, made a series of well-orchestrated moves, defended stoutly and never allowed the rival to come back into the match.
Javed’s first goal was a beauty. He dashed into the box, almost from nowhere, to head home a neat cross from the left by Jacken Sebastian, who was fed by K.V. Kalesh. The goal came in the 18th minute.
In the second half too, Kerala XI was constantly attacking. And in the 66th minute, a cross from Saleel down the left found Prasoon inside the box and Javed was well placed to give the finishing touches. — Principal Correspondent
