Churchill rally to hold Dempo to 2-2 draw; Chhetri shines

Vasco: Sunil Chhetri scored twice to help Churchill Brothers come from behind and hold Dempo SC to a 2-2 draw in a 24th round match of the I-League football championship at Tilak Maidan Stadium on Wednesday. After Ryuji Sueoka (12th minute) and Climax Lawerence (first half injury time) put Dempo ahead, Chhetri scored twice to help Churchill Brothers draw the match and split points.

Churchill Brothers' tally now stands at 48 points from 23 matches. Dempo, who are on fifth place, took their tally to 36 points from 24 matches. Both sides played an attacking game in the first half where Churchill Brothers had more of the ball possession. But Dempo keeper Subhasish Roy Chowdhury was alert under the bar and denied Churchill Brothers an early lead.

With defender Sameer Naik, Debrata Roy and striker Ryuji Sueoka coming in from injury, Dempo, who lost four matches on a trot, looked a better side today. Dempo finally got the breakthrough when Sueoka put his team ahead in the 12th minute when he headed home a well directed cross from the left by Debrata.

Minutes later Sueoka would have scored again but timely intervention by rival keeper foiled his attempt. Churchill created a couple of scoring chances but first Henri's attempt at the goal went out and later Chhetri's try was saved by keeper Chowdhury....more
