The Gaurs&#8217; relentless attack proved too much for Sporting Clube&#8217;s defense to handle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">After a goalless first half, Herrera broke the deadlock with a perfectly executed penalty, sending the ball screaming into the top right corner. The spot-kick was awarded after Joel Colaco&#8217;s clumsy challenge on Dejan Drazic in the box.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Herrera&#8217;s second was a thing of beauty. Following a slick exchange with Drazic that carved open Sporting&#8217;s midfield, he unleashed a venomous strike from outside the area that left goalkeeper Abhimanyu Singh rooted to the spot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Sadiku, fresh off the bench, added a jaw-dropping third. Spotting Singh off his line, the Albanian striker unleashed a 35-yard rocket that arrowed into the net, drawing gasps from the rain-drenched crowd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">The rout was completed when Boris Singh, another substitute, ghosted in at the far post to meet Brison Fernandes&#8217; low cross with a deft tap-in, putting the final nail in Sporting&#8217;s coffin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">The first half had seen FC Goa dominate possession, with Alan Saji constantly probing Sporting&#8217;s defense. However, resolute defending from Myron Fernandes and several crucial interventions from Singh kept the scoreline level at the break.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goa Khabar : FC Goa delivered a masterclass performance, crushing Sporting Clube de Goa 4-0 in a rain-soaked encounter at PJN Stadium on Saturday, lighting up the second edition of the Bhausaheb Bandodkar Memorial Trophy.
