Sankata Club jumped to fifth position with 23 points at the ANFA Martyrs’ Memorial “A” division League Football Tournament, following an impressive win against Brigade Boys Club (BBC) 4-2 today at Dasrath Stadium.

Sankata rode the crest of Darjeeling recruits Nilendra Dewan, Krishna Malakar, Raj Kumar Ghising and Raj KJumar KC to bring down the vigor of BBC. Dewan fired home an easy goal early in the 15th minute following an easy pass off Raj Kumar KC.

BBC struck back with their regular goal scorer Obagbemiro Junior. Junior struck one of the finest goals in the on-going league with an excellent free-kick shot in the 28th minute. But, the joy did not last long for BBC as Sankata doubled the tally through Krishna Malakar. Sankata went into the break up 2-1.

After the re-start, Sankata sat on the driver’s seat to ensure easy victory after scoring their third goal in the 59th minute through Raj Kumar Ghising. But, BBC fought back hard and was rewarded in the 65th minute through Shekhar Limbu. Limbu struck a excellent long range 25 yard goal, which easily kissed the top of the net. Finally, Raj Kumar KC put the issue beyond doubt in the 90th minute scoring the forth goal through an excellent header.

Earlier, Mahabir Club blanked Friends’ Club with a solitary goal to give the club some hope to stay out of the danger zone. Amar Pun scored the match winning goal in the 22nd minute with a long range shot fooling FC’s promising goalie Rajeev Shrestha.
