Prayag United are now the only unbeaten  team in the I-League.<\/p>\n<p> Churchill surged ahead through Antun Kovacic whose volley from a corner,  despite being desperately blocked by Valeriano Rebello, was ruled to  have crossed the line and at the stroke of half time, Henry Antchouet  scored the insurance goal to give Churchill a 2-0 lead in the first  session itself.<\/p>\n<p> Selwyn Fernandes headed Dempo\u2019s only goal of the match but that came in  the last minute of added time and Dempo had no time to force another  goal, leaving coach Armando Colaco to ponder over the three clear  chances that his team missed in the second session.<\/p>\n<p> Churchill surged ahead in the 23rd minute when Australian defender Antun  Kovacic volleyed home Beto\u2019s corner-kick which was initially headed  back. Dempo goalkeeper Laxmikant Kattymani and defender Valeriano  Rebello desperately tried to block the ball but the referee after  consultations with his assistant judged that the ball had crossed the  line.<\/p>\n<p> Dempo had a chance to restore parity but Rowilson Rodrigues\u2019 volley of a corner hit the crossbar and sailed out of play.<\/p>\n<p> Churchill\u2019s second goal was also fortunate as a quick counter attack saw  Bineesh Balan release Henry and the Gabonese striker\u2019s feeble attempt  hit Dempo defender Valeriano and went into his own goal at the stroke of  half time.<\/p>\n<p> After the break, Dempo were a different side and took control of the  proceedings. But the former champions lacked the final touch as Ranty  Martins, Koko Sakibo and Romeo Fernandes all went close in quick  succession.<\/p>\n<p> Dempo\u2019s only goal came too late as Selwyn Fernandes headed home Romeo  Fernandes\u2019 cross from the left in the third minute of added time.<br \/> Churchill move to 17 points from 18 matches while Dempo stay at the top with 21 points from 8 matches. <br \/> <strong><br \/> Prayag beat Air India 3-0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> Prayag United struck three second-half goals to overcome Air India in an  I-League encounter. Yusuf Yakubu, Tulunga and Denson Devadas struck one  goal apiece in the 2nd half to take Prayag to 16 points from 8 matches  while Air India stay on 10 points from 8 matches.<\/p>\n<p> In the 55th minute, Denson Devdas played a ball to Yusuf Yakubu who got  past the defence and placed it past the goalkeeper to make it 1-0. <br \/> Tulunga doubled the lead in the 70th minute. The move started from the  right. Yakubu passed to Joshimar who found Tulunga to slot home. In the  89th minute, Denson Devadas completed the rout. <\/p>\n<p> Prayag stay the only unbeaten team in the League so far.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Fatorda:<\/strong> Churchill Brothers reduced the deficit at the top of  the league ladder to four points after registering a 2-1 win over Dempo  Sports Club in a eighth round I-League clash at the Nehru Stadium,  Fatorda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-football-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>I-League: Churchill scrape past Dempo 2-1 - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
