FC Goa clinched the Salcete Football Club 45th Anniversary U-14 Interclub Tournament title with a narrow 1-0 win over Cortalim Villagers at Navelim.
Both teams produced an engaging brand of football, matching each other for intensity and skill.
The breakthrough arrived in the second half through Piyush Aeer, who’s composed finish ultimately sealed the title. Fittingly, Piyush was named Man of the Match for his impact.
