I-League: Taisuke stars in Mumbai’s win over Salgaocar

Bengaluru/ Mumbai: North Korean Kim Song Yong struck a brace in Bengaluru FC’s convincing 3-0 win over Shillong Lajong to emerge as table toppers in the I-League, here on Sunday.
The 28-year-old Yong scored in the 35th minute of the first half and another one in the second half, while CK Vineeth found the net in first three minutes of game.
The Lajong forwards, including Brazilian Uilliams Bomfin, could not breach the rival defence as Bengaluru FC routed the visitors in a one-sided match at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium.
The hosts were in control of the match soon after Vineeth scored a superb goal, a left-footer which defeated the Lajong goal-keeper in the third minute of the game.
Bengaluru constantly attacked the net of the Lajong and missed a few more chances thereafter, until in 35th minute when Yong came to the party, scoring a goal of a deflection from the Lajong goal-kepeer, which helped the hosts take 2-0 lead.
Soon, Yong once again struck delightfully to make the crowd go berserk with a magnificent third goal for Bengaluru, his second in the debut match.
The North Korean was declared man of the match.
Meanwhile, Captain Taisuke Matsugae scored a goal and did the spadework for another as Mumbai FC broke their winless and goalless streak by getting the better of Salgaocar SC of Goa 2-1 in a third round match of the I-League football.
The Mumbai outfit enjoyed a slender 1-0 half-time advantage at the Cooperage football ground. After failing to score in 180 minutes of play in their first two games, Mumbai FC finally ended the goal drought when Japanese midfielder Taisuke blasted home the opening goal in the 37th minute. (PTI)
