Keita scored the opening goal and then Gurjinder Kumar sealed full  points six minutes from close. Pune move to 18 points from 11 matches  while Churchill stay on 23 points from as many matches.<\/p>\n<p>Both  teams had their chances in the first session and, if they were on  target, could have killed the match inside the first 45 minutes.  Churchill\u2019s young midfielder Lalrindika Ralte was the outstanding  performer for his side but early in the game he saw his stunning  left-footer hit the crossbar and rebound, and minutes later he put  striker Henri Autchouet through but the Gabonese striker\u2019s attempt was  nullified by an equally alert Pune FC goalkeeper Abhra Mondal.<\/p>\n<p>Pune  FC had their chances at the other end and Chika Wali should have done  better than direct a loose attempt on the post when left all alone. A  minute later, Chika was again in the thick of action but this time too  he ended with a weak attempt when picked out inside the goalmouth by  Lester Fernandez.<\/p>\n<p>Keita Mandjou also went close for Pune FC as  his header hit amazingly hit the crossbar with goalkeeper Felix D\u2019Souza  nowhere in the picture. <\/p>\n<p>Pune FC surged ahead in the 62nd minute  when Churchill defender Naveen Sudhakaran failed to clear Srikant Ramu\u2019s  cross from the right, providing Keita with the luxury of a simple  header for the goal.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors scored the insurance goal in  the 84th minute when Douhou Pierre cut past two players and took a shot  at goal which Felix managed to thwart but the rebound fell at the feet  of Gurjinder who had to guide it into the goal.<\/p>\n<p>Pune FC had their  goalkeeper Abhra Mondal to thank as well as the goalkeeper on loan from  East Bengal made two stunning saves to deny ND Opara in the first  session and Roberto Mendes da Silva\u2019s freekick in the second.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prayag fail to get past Lajong: <\/strong>Prayag  United were held to a draw as Shillong Lajong came from behind to hold  them draw 1-1 at Salt Lake Stadium on Wednesday. Josimar opened the  scoring for Prayag United in the 28th minute but Lajong striker Chiboza  equalised 8 minutes later. Prayag now stay on 18 points from 11 matches  while Lajong are 13 points from 11 matches. <\/p>\n<p>Both teams got equal  chances in the first half. Eugenson Lyongdoh took a fine left-footer  from the left in the 20th minute for Lajong but it was well saved by  Abhijeet Mondol. In the 24th minute, Lajong got a free-kick from a  favourable position but couldn\u2019t capitalise. <\/p>\n<p>Few minutes later,  Joshimar put Prayag in the lead. A miss-pass in the centre of the field  was capitalised by Denson Devdas who essayed a through to Josimar who  entered the box and beat the rival goalkeeper with a rasping  right-footer. <\/p>\n<p>Prayag failed to capitalise further when Yakubu who was placed in the clear failed to double the lead minutes later. <\/p>\n<p>Lajong were quick to capitalise as in the 36th minute, Christopher scored off a half-turn from inside the box. <\/p>\n<p>The second half started with Prayag playing more opening football and going for the win but Shillong Lajong managed to hold on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Margao: <\/strong>Pune FC continued their resurgence under  Man-of-the-match Keita Mandjou as the visitors registered a methodical  2-0 win over Churchill Brothers in a eleventh round I-league football 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-1610","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>Keita inspires Pune FC to comfortable win - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
