The promoted Juhu side played with positive intent from the start and matched the Dadar outfit in almost every department. But they lost focus towards the fag end and the energetic St Paul’s strikers seized the opportunity with their captain Gururaj Mane having a hand in both goals.
In the 46th minute, Gururaj’s swerving flag-kick sailed over the rival defence and landed perfectly for Ved Bhosale to direct the ball into the back of the net. Three minutes later, a brilliant combined move which involved Atharva Hate and Mantahn Walke, the ball was relayed to Gururaj, who put the finishing touch to double the lead and seal the win.
