Story So Far:

Two Wins – Two Draws & One Loss, Currently in fourth, with 8 points in 5 games, the Eagles are 4 points short of top place Vasco Sports Club, who lead the pack at the Halfway stage of the Selvel Goa Professional League!

Having created an abundance of chances in the last game but failing to convert, the Eagles will know that they could have been looking at a very different table at this stage of the competition and will continue the hunt for that elusive final touch, that has been missing! Still, very much in the contention for the title, the boys will know that a couple of wins, starting with the likes of Panjim Footballers will definitely signal a change of things to come.

Opposition:

Having played a game less, Panjim Footballers currently sits in seventh place with 6 points in 4 games.

With a record of 2 wins & 2 losses, the Panjim Outfit is known for their quick forward play and their resolute backline. Conceding only twice so far this campaign, they currently hold the second-best defence in the league, with only Salgaocar FC & Sporting Clude De Goa so far jointly boasting a better statistic.

Dempo Sports Club currently sits in fourth place with 8 points in 5 games.

Player To Watch:

Danstan Fernandes: Promoted from the Under 18’s last season, young Danstan Fernandes has grown leaps and bounds in this edition of the Selvel Goa Professional League.

Taking advantage of a vacancy in midfield that needed a box-to-box midfielder in Head Coach Samir Naik’s formation, the youngster is now one of the first names on the team-sheet and is developing into quite the personality on the ground and off it as well. Vocal, Technical & Robust, the talented midfielders’ roadmap is a thing of beauty! Covering every single blade of grass, supplying balls to the forward line as well as helping out the defense, the young boy is nonstop action!
