KOLKATA: Defending champion Karnataka swamped Rajasthan 13-0 here in a cluster I league encounter of the National junior football for the Dr. B.C. Roy Trophy here at the East Bengal ground on Monday.

Lokesh scored five goals while Prakash Majumdar struck thrice to figure prominently in Karnataka's goal riot. Sridhar (two goals), Rajkiran, S. Shankar and Mathen were the other scorers.
