<p>After losing 3-0 to Churchill in the first game, HASC could not do much better as they lost to the club from Goa by two goals.<br /><br />The Goans opened the scoring in the 15th minute, after a defensive lapse by the HASC defence gave Nathaniel Amos a clear opening to slot the ball past the goalkeeper at the near post.<br />Sporting got the second goal through Elijah Junior in the 69th minute, which effectively ended HASC’s hopes of getting anything from the match.<br /><br />In another Group C match, star striker Odafe Onyeka Okolie converted a penalty deep into the second half as Churchill Brothers prevailed over Mumbai FC 1-0.<br /><br /> Odafe scored in the 70th minute off a spot kick after Mumbai defender Kamaljeet Kumar handled the ball inside the box in a Group C match at the Satindra Mohan Dev Stadium. With this win, Churchill are on six points from two matches. They had beaten Hindustan Aeronautics Limited Bangalore 3-0 in their opening clash. Defending champions Mohun Bagan were held to a goalless draw by Chirag United.<br /><br />Playing before a capacity crowd at the Nehru Stadium in Guwahati, Bagan dished out attacking soccer, creating at least half a dozen chances, but poor finishing and good solid defending by Chirag undid all their efforts in the Group B match.<br /><br />Mahindra United made it two wins out of two as they edged out Mohamedan Sporting by a solitary goal. Paresh Shivalkar scored for Mahindra in the 53rd minute to give the Mumbai club maximum points to top the group.<br /></p>
