Sporting Khalsa 2 Romulus 3
The hosts' pre-match position was as table-toppers but on the day, the well-drilled visitors were too good for what appeared to be a lacklustre Sporting Khalsa.
The first 15 minutes was mostly Khalsa with Romulus restricted to counter attacks using the pace of their two front men allied to some well-organised defending . The visitors seemed to gain in confidence and it was they who then took command for a while and this seemed to be the pattern of things until a couple of minutes before the break when,following a corner, the visitors broke the deadlock.
Fifteen minutes into the second half the hosts levelled when the keeper couldn't hold onto a piledriver from outside the area. The visitors were not put out by this; indeed by the 72nd minute they were 3-1 ahead,the second following a goalkeeping howler. On 80 minutes the Khalsa keeper somewhat redeemed himself by stopping the visitors number 9 from scoring, three times in a matter of seconds. Well done the keeper ! With 5 minutes to go Khalsa reduced the arrears so it was definitely game on but to be fair,Romulus could have increased their lead on a couple of occasions after that and for all their belated efforts Khalsa couldn't find a leveller.
This was a day when Khalsa met an extremely well-organised,impressive outfit where everyone knew their role so credit to them. Khalsa will have better days than this.
