I-LEAGUE Media Team
NEW DELHI: In what was expected to be a thrilling game of football, Garhwal FC proved their worth to be in the 2nd Division League 2013-14 by beating Green Valley SC 3-0 on Wednesday, Feb 12. As a result, they are atop Group A at the moment with 6 points garnered from 3 matches.
Garhwal FC took the game by the scruff of the neck and played at a high tempo from the start. The introduction of Rahul Kaintura, after his injection of inspiration in the last game against PIFA Colaba, brought instant reward when he started this game and opened the scoring for the Garhwal in the 42nd minute after a very well worked move in the final third.
The 2nd goal for Garhwal came from a superb free-kick taken by Club captain Monu Chowdhary,who arrowed the ball in the top corner of the net leaving the keeper with no option but to see the ball flying past him in the 84th minute.
The work ethic shown by the team to keep Green Valley SC at bay finally paid off when Kamal Rawat’s shot was saved by the Green Valley keeper, but it fell to the hovering Mahinder Singh who made no mistake to put the ball past the goalie, who earlier made a good save.
The game also saw the introduction of Noel Darjee, a boy from the Bhaichung Bhutia Football Schools making his debut at the age of 17.
Garhwal FC are on six points after three games in-spite of the bad loss they suffered against Royal Wahingdoh in their opening fixture. GFC will be playing Kalighat Milan Sangha Football Club on 15/02/2014.
