North Eastern Re-Organising Cultural Association FC Maul Indian Arrows 4-0

Kalyani: The North Eastern Re-Organising Cultural Association (NEROCA) FC thrashed the Indian Arrows 4-0 for their first win of the I-League at the Kalyani Municipal Stadium here on Wednesday.

A brace by Judah Garcia and a goal apiece by Varney Kallon and Khaiminthang Lhungdim proved enough for NEROCA FC to sink the Indian Arrows.

Judah Garcia's strike from distance stunned the Arrows' goalkeeper and caught him off guard, as the ball crept in from his near post to hand NEROCA the lead on the 27th minute. Then, on the 30th minute, Varney Kallon slotted his effort into the back of the net to double the Manipur outfit's lead, striking a killer blow to the momentum brewed by Arrows minutes before.

In the 66th minute, much against the run of play, Judah Garcia robbed the Arrows of possession in their defending third and ran onto goal. With only the goalkeeper to beat, Garcia slotted home with ease to hand NEROA a three-goal lead. Khaiminthang Lhungdim found another goal for the Manipur based club on the 72nd minute to make the score-line read 4-0 in favour of NEROCA. The full-time scoreline read the same as NEROCA notched their first win of the Hero I-league season. (IANS)
