Victorino Fernandes two goals guided hosts Sporting Clube de Goa to a hard-fought 4-3 win over Shillong Lajong in a third round I-League match at the Nehru stadium in Fatorda.

The home team,which trailed 1-2 at half-time,scored through Kalu Nnana Ogba 24th,Fernandes 49th,50th and James Moga 70th,while the visitors scored through PC Lalhlimthara 10th,56th and John Menyongar 40th minute penalty.

Lajong started well with John Menyongar leading the attack as they often probed from the right with defender Jovel Martins giving a lot of space to his rivals to penetrate. The hosts stitched a few good moves and took the lead in the 10th minute. Menyongar took a couple of rival players in his stride and relayed the ball to Lalhlimthara,who shot it past rival keeper Milagrio Medeira into the net. Sporting took time to settle down but once they did,they put the fragile rival defence under pressure.
