Kalyani: Former champions Churchill Brothers FC and debutants Inter Kashi played out a 1-1 draw in their I-League clash at the Kalyani stadium on Wednesday. Churchill should feel more disappointed for not getting the points as they were the better side.
The teams were locked goalless at half time.
After a goalless first half, the next 10 minutes were fairly action-packed with both goals coming during this period.Churchill took the lead in the 52nd minute but could hardly hold on to it as Inter Kashi found the equaliser within the next four minutes.
Ghanaian midfielder Emmanuel Kofi Essien was quick to pounce on the opportunity when a long throw in the Inter Kashi box was partially cleared by a defender and returned into the six-yard area again after hitting a defender. Emmanuel didn’t waste time to find the target for Churchill.
Inter Kashi restored parity four minutes later. Stendly Fernandes found himself clear on the right and raced in to cross in the goalmouth. An attempted clearance by Nischal Chandan failed miserably as the defender lost his balance and fell down, leaving the ball free for Muhammad Ajsal to do the rest. Churchill goalkeeper Subhasish Roy Chowdhury could do little to stop the goal.
Churchill are placed 10th in the 13-team league with 14 points from 13 matches.
Inter Kashi, on the other hand, are now in seventh place with 19 points from 14 outings.
