Minerva Academy FC continues their fine form as they ease past Satvir Football Academy

Minerva Academy FC continued their rampant run against Satvir Football Academy in their second match of the AIFF Futsal Club Championship. The defending champions defeated Satvir Football Academy 9-2 thanks to a brace by Himanshu Jangra (7’,14’) and Samson (21’,26’).

In spite of the scoreline suggesting a one-sided affair, the first half yielded a completely different result. Golden boy Himanshu opened the scoring for Minerva but Pawan (9’) struck back from Satvir Football Academy. A similar pattern was repeated as Himanshu again gave Minerva the lead, but Ramandeep (17’) saved Satvir. The final blow came from Andrew (20’), who scored at the stroke of halftime to give Minerva Football Academy a 3-2 lead.

Things picked up the pace for Minerva Academy FC in the second half with Samson’s brace and goals from Naoba (22’), Ankit (25’), Chanpreet (33’) and Thapa (34’) to finish work with a 9-2 final scoreline.

The defending are almost through to the next round but will look to officially book their berth against Electric Veng tomorrow at 2:30 PM. The defending champions are looking in red form and with Himanshu Jangra redefining his form, they look unstoppable at the moment.
