But the ghost of the last defeat against Prayag United came back to haunt in the second session as the team missed plenty of chances.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CK Vineeth scored a wonderful goal for the visitors in the 28th minute but despite having a couple of clear chances after the change of ends, Chirag United Kerala could not snatch what would have been a deserving point.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dempo started confidently and opened the account earlier than they had probably planned. The breakthrough happened in the 5th minute when Peter Carvalho cut past three players worked his way ahead and picked up Clifford on the left. The Dempo midfielder had no problem in getting past the goalkeeper for Dempo\u2019s opening goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ranty Martins made it 2-0 in the 15th. This time it was Anthony Pereira who did all that was needed to slice open the Chirag United defence\u00a0and put the ball on the platter for Ranty to finish from a narrow angle.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dempo were jostled in the 29th minute when Vineeth found the back of the net, and that too in style. Vineeth\u2019s reverse kick stunned not just Dempo goalkeeper Subhashish Roy Chowdhury but almost everyone else present at the stadium.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The second session, though, was a saga of missed chances. Peter had the best chance to increase Dempo\u2019s lead but goalkeeper K Sharath proved equal to the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chirag could have so easily snatched a draw but Vineeth, when provided with a good opportunity, ended placing the ball straight into the waiting hands of goalkeeper K Sharath<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Goa:<\/strong> Dempo Sports Club edged past Chirag United and extended their lead at the top by four points but lacked conviction in their 2-1 win against Chirag United Kerala at the Nehru Stadium in Fatorda on Saturday.<\/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":[53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-latest"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>I-League: Dempo edge past Chirag United - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
