India beat Portuguese 3rd div side AC Marinhense 3-2

By Staff

New Delhi, July 27 (UNI) Skipper Baichung Bhutia displayed his lethal striking prowess for the second game in a row in India national team's 3-2 victory over Portuguese third division side AC Marinhense near Lisbon.

Bhutia had scored a brace in his side's 3-0 win over another third division side Recreativo Agueda on Sunday in their second game of the exposure-cum-training tour of the Iberian country.

AC Marinhense took the lead with a 10th minute strike by Yuran and the Indians had to wait till the 37th minute for an equiliser by Sunil Chhetri.

After the breather, Bhutia put India ahead in the 51st minute but Marinhense were quick to draw parity with a 60th minute goal by Yuran again.

Bhutia then found the net in the 75th minute to ensure India's second win of the tour.

Meanwhile, there would be a change in the original playing fixture. India were to play long time Portuguese Super Liga side and now a top second level league side Estoril Praia on July 28.

But, the visitors will now play third division side GDR Monsanto in the final match of the tour at Estadio Torres Novas, according to information received here.
