HYDERABAD, Jan 29: Sreenidi Deccan FC closed the gap at the top to one point with a 3-2 win against NEROCA FC at the Deccan Arena in Hyderabad on Sunday.
Sreenidi Deccan cruised to a two-goal lead at half-time following goals from usual suspects Faysal Shayesteh and David Castaneda. Rosenberg Gabriel looked to have sealed the three points after netting the third in the second half, but late goals from NEROCA’s Michael Kporvi and Jourdain Fletcher made things interesting towards the end. Eventually, the hosts were able to see off the Orange Brigade’s spirited fightback and come out victorious.
