KOLKATA (India): Table-toppers Churchill Brothers steered four points clear of second-placed TRAU FC after they beat Sudeva Delhi FC 2-0 at the Mohun Bagan ground on Monday.
First-half strikes by Luka Majcen and Bryce Miranda helped Churchill grab their third win of the season.
Churchill Brothers took the lead in a quite extraordinary fashion. Off a corner kick, Zuniga held up play and used his physical prowess to shield the ball, before laying a pass for Luka Majcen who smashed the ball home, giving the Goan club a solitary goal lead.
In the 35th minute, Kean Lewis ran clear on the right flank and cut inside to release a curling effort that went out of bounds. Immediately after, Churchill Brothers cleverly used the right flank and Majcen released a pass for Miranda, who slotted home.
Sudeva Delhi FC could have halved their deficit in the dying embers of the first half when Shaiborlang Kharpan’s thunderous header off a Mahesh Singh corner was saved heroically. Churchill Brothers led 2-0 as both teams went into the tunnel at half-time. (Source: AIFF)
