ONGC drub Companeroes

ONGC made it 2-0 in the 42nd minute following a defensive lapse. Defender Kayzin D8217;Souza needlessly held on to the ball for long inside the circle instead of clearing it. ONGC8217;s Ranjit dispossesed him and beat goalkeeper Blaise Vessaoker, who had replaced Lucio, with an angular push to the goalkeeper8217;s left.

The match was as good as over when ONGC struck a third time, three minutes later. Anwar8217;s fierce forward shot deflected of a defender8217;s leg to unmarked left-winger Fahad, who was positioned deep in the circle. Fahad trapped the ball and shot home in a jiffy.

Marcellus scored Camponeroes8217; consolation goal following a penalty-corner in the 51st minute. But the visitors hit back with a goal four minutes later through Nazir who made the most of a forwards pass by Anwar.

ONGC8217;s Sandeep Sangwan rubbed salt into the local side8217;s wounds when he rounded-off the tally with a goal almost on the call of time.

ERRATA: The goal scorer in the BHA Colts-MbPT match on Thursday was Ninson Mangeiath and not Girish Pimple as mentioned. The error is deeply regretted.
