Dempo gives JCT a jolt

Ludhiana April 13 . JCT's title hopes suffered a serious jolt when it lost 1-3 to Dempo Sports Club, Goa in a crucial 20th round match of the seventh National Football League here on Sunday.

Though JCT was billed as the favourite to win the tie, Dempo scored two goals in the second half, after both teams scored a goal each in the first session, to put paid to JCT's hopes of collecting full points from the match.

Rattan Singh opened the account for Dempo in the 25th minute with an excellent strike, but JCT equalised 15 minutes later through Hardip Gill whose gentle push beat the custodian Praness Fernandes.

Though both the sides scored a goal each in the first half, Dempo players dominated the proceedings with some fine play as their rivals struggled for ball possession. JCT's dependable goalkeeper Mansur Mohd was also not up to the mark

The first 20 minutes of the second half saw both the sides trying hard to snatch the lead. But it was Dempo which pumped in two goals in quick succession — E.B. Chena in the 65th minute and Bijen Singh in the 71st — to put the issue beyond JCT.

The win took Dempo's tally to 29 points while JCT remained on 34.
