Churchill have a match in hand against Pailan Arrows and this win should help them make considerable progress, although there still remains a huge gap between them and leaders Dempo Sports Club (47 points).<\/p>\n<p>Prayag stay on 37 points.<\/p>\n<p>Beto scored the first two goals for Churchill while an own goal by Sukhen Dey only added to Prayag\u2019s misery in the first half which ended 3-1 after Yakubu Yusif had pulled a goal back. <\/p>\n<p>In the second session, Henri Autchouet and Lalrindika Ralte added their names to the scoresheet while substitute striker Josimar Martins capitalised on a defensive lapse to help Prayag reduce the margin. <\/p>\n<p>Prayag allowed Churchill Brothers to take charge immediately after the kick-off. A couple of chances went abegging at the start for the hosts but Beto drew first blood when he came up with a nice header to finish off a cross from Denzil Franco in the 21st minute.<\/p>\n<p>Beto made it 2-0 when a quick counter saw Lenny Rodrigues and Henri interchange before Beto did the rest with a left-footed grounder from just outside the box.<\/p>\n<p>Yakubu briefly provided hope for Prayag with a smart goal in the 43rd minute but an own goal from Sukhen \u2013 while trying to obstruct Henri \u2013 shut doors on a comeback.<\/p>\n<p>In the second half, Henri finally scored his first goal when he got at the right end of a measured cross from Steven Dias to push the ball past the outstretched hands of Prayag goalkeeper Abhijit Mondal.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Lalrindika Ralte made it 5-1 when his left footer found the top corner of the net.<\/p>\n<p>Prayag\u2019s only other goal came in the 80th minute when Australian defender Antun Kovacic and goalkeeper Arindam Bhattacharya were involved in a horrendous mix-up which allowed Josimar an easy passage to score a goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/football\/churchill-prayag.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"I-League: Churchill prove too strong for Prayag\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" style=\"float: left;
