The club comprising mostly 20-year olds foiled every move from former India skipper Shanmugam Venkatesh, Odinaka Godson and Sewram Gobin inside the box, while keeping the four-strong defence of Sudheesh Muttath, Othalo Tabia, Chika Wali and Kamal Thapa on the backfoot. Venkatesh changed position within the first ten minutes, like he’d done against Simla Youngs earlier, but his crosses were left unanticipated by forwards Godson and Gobin. As Sesa’s Lesley Fernandes and Agnelo Monteiro kept springing surprises and dismayed the few present, the bravest save of the game came from their defender Bruno Fernandes — heading back a strike from Godson, who latched on to Lal Rozma’s cross. For all these near-misses, Pune FC’s British coach Stewart Hall had the forward line to blame. “They were outstanding the other day. But Venkatesh, Godson and Gobin looked so ordinary today,” said Hall.
