Dempo: Roy, John, Peter, Climax, Ranti, Beto, Kalu, Clifford, Valeriano, Mahesh, Kattimani.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Still 15 minutes to kick-off, crowd is still filling in. This is going to be one cracker of a football match.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Vuvuzelas in the background, this is an ever bigger turn-out that the Churchill-Salgoacar game. One can hear the profound noise of drum-beats and crackers.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Players emerge from the tunnel. This is the biggest turn-out of the season. Unbelievable atmosphere.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">One minute silence being observed for the untimely demise of HAL Keeper Arun Kumar.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>0':</strong> The match kicks-off.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>2':</strong> Govin conceded and early corner to Dempo. After the ball is cleared, Dempo get their second corner.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>5':</strong> <strong>GOOOOAAAAAAL!</strong> Kalu scores for Dempo. It was a mistake by Karanjit, who comes out to clear but his clearance was weak. The ball falls to Kalu who makes no mistakes.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>5':</strong> Incidently, Kalu also scored in the reverse fixture at the same time. Salgoacar have hardly seen the ball in the opening 5 minutes. Dempo have been all over them.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>9:</strong> Shot by Tomba. The ball sails over the cross-bar.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>14':</strong> Foul by John, as he bring down Seoka. Free-kick for Salgaocar on the edge of the box. Well defended by Clifford. It's 1-0 to Dempo after the first 15 minutes.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>15':</strong> What a mistake by Valeriano. Francis was through, and it was a 3 on 1 situation for Salgoacar. But, Gawli makes a sensable tackle.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>17':</strong> What a brilliant move by Dempo. Ogba won the ball in the midfield, and passed to Beto who exchanged a neat one-two with Peter. A superb cross from the right but just out of reach of Clifford.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>20':</strong> Nice move by Salgoacar. Francis delivered a decent cross from the left, however, Gilbert cannot reach it. </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>24':</strong> Cross by Yakubu, but comfortably collected by Kattimani.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>26':</strong> Corner for Salgoacar, as Valeriano diverts a Gilbert cross.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>28': GOOAAAAAAL!</strong> Yakubu scores! Salgoacar 1-1 Dempo.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>30':</strong> Corner for Salgoacar. The crowd is roaring them on. Fabulous atmosphere here in Margao.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>34':</strong> Game has come to life. Salgoacar are running riots in the Dempo defence. With the home crowd firmly behind them, the momentum has changed on its head. In which part of Goa will the wine flow tonight remains to be seen.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>36':</strong> Free-kick to Salgoacar. This game is turning out to be exactly similar to the reverse fixture between the two Goan outfits. Straight into the wall by Seoka.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>40':</strong> Ranti hits the back of the net, but it's ruled out for a foul just before the goal. Dempo supporters are livid.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>44': GOOAAAAAAL! </strong>Ranti puts Dempo in front to silence the home crowd. Game on again. It was a brilliant ball from Beto, and Ranti's finish was straight from the top drawer.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>45':</strong> Two minutes of added time.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>HT: Salgoacar 1-2 Dempo.</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>45': </strong>Second half starts.

Beto gets the ball and puts it to Clifford, who delivers a great ball but Karanjit comes out and thwarts the danger. </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>55':</strong> Substitutions: Toba OFF, Cajetan ON. Francis OFF, Anthony IN.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>57':</strong> Good defending in the past five minutes from Dempo, as they have not allowed the Salgoacar wide players to deliver crosses. Mahesh has been outstanding today; if not for him, the away team would have conceded at least two goals more.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>61':</strong> Still 30 minutes remaining. The score-line remains in Dempo's favour.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>65':</strong> After coliding with Sabrosa, Beto was carried of the ground. However, he returns to the pitch. Throw in for Dempo.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>66':</strong> Shot by Ranti sails over the bar. It's overcast here in Goa, and the playing conditions are perfect today evening.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>70':</strong> Beto does well on the right to cross the ball in, but Karanjit was ready to pre-empt any danger. Good keeping there.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>72':</strong> Salgoacar has the lion's share of possession presently, but are lacking in the final ball. The crowd is getting restless now. Something has to give way now.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>75':</strong> Substitution for Salgoacar: Gilbert OFF, Khangembam ON.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>77':</strong> Dempo's defence has looked suspect here, and Salgoacar are looking threatening.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>80':</strong> What a miss by Ranti! On the break, he had two defenders in front of him from close range - he shoots wide.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>83':</strong> A breathtaking goal-line clearance from Kalu, who saved a sure-shot goal.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>84':</strong> What a counter by Salgoacar at break-neck pace. Meitee misses. The crowd is expecting a goal now. This is the best atmosphere in a long long time in Goa.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>86':</strong> <strong>GOOOAAAAAAAL!</strong> Beto scores for Dempo, who are now 3-1 up in Margoa. Kalu delivers a fabulous pass on the counter. Four minutes plus stoppage time to go. Salgoacar 1-3 Dempo.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>90':</strong> Substitution for Dempo: Beto OFF, Godwin IN. Two minutes of injury time remaining.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>FT: The referee blows the whistle and Dempo wins!
