Soldiers lose to Ratnam sc by Bernard Perera The Luckless Army SC went down to Ratnam SC four goals to one at City League grounds yesterday in a Kit Premier League soccer encounter. Army had full control of the first half but Ratnam SC strikers put their side ahead in the 15th minute through a header from Asanga Rangana. The corner taken from the right wing came right on target for Asanga to go for the header. Army went on the attack but their strikers failed to get the goals needed. Army forwards missed easy scoring opportunities on four occasions in the first half. These missed chances helped opponents to have a good look at them and Ratnam forwards really got onto the act and scored the second goal in the 40th minute through Gerard Diconing. Diconing was the play maker for Ratanam SC. He was seen all over thes field moving swiftly to collect all good ball that was passed to him by the mid fielders. at half time Ratnam led 2-0. After the turn around Army was again at its best with most of the possession. Six minutes into the second half saw Diconing put Ratnam further ahead with a solo effort. Fifteen minutes later NAF Rahuman's angular kick from right wing baffled the Army custodian to score the fourth goal for Ratnam SC. Just nine minutes away from the final whistle N.A.D. Silva got the solitary goal for the soldiers. N. Pingamage controlled the game. |
