Injury time goal help HASC stun Mahindra 1-0

Bangalore, Apr 18 (UNI) Table toppers Mahindra United were inflicted a shock 0-1 defeat by the bottom placed Hindustan Aeronautics Sports Club (HASC) in a 14th round encounter of the National Football League at BDFA stadium here today.

The all important goal came in the injury time through substitute Satish Kumar, with barely one minute left for the final whistle.

At the receiving end for most part of the game, HASC notched up its second win by default with Satish hoodwinking Mahindra custodian Sandip Nandy who had little to do during the entire match with the visitors calling the shots, but failing to find the nets.

Seemingly content with a draw against the NFL giants, HASC scored against the run of the match in the dying moments through a move initiated by Rajendra Prasad.

The HASC forward, taking control of the ball, moved menacingly into the rival citadel after a brief passing duel with Satish, who came in place of R Vashum in the second half. Rajendra fed theball to an unmarked Xavier who went for the final kill. Nandy failed to clear deftly the left footer from Xavier and a well positioned Satish made no mistake to bring in jubilation in the HASC camp.
