AI beats Bhutan to enter semis of CM’s Gold Cup

JORETHANG, 19 Nov: Bhutan XI bowed out of the Chief Minister’s Gold Cup today after losing to Air India 3-1.
Playing the second quarterfinal match of the ongoing All India Chef Minister Gold Cup Football Tournament, Bhutan XI was bundled away in a one-sided match in which Air India remained superior throughout.
To its credit, Bhutan XI found its feet in time to deny Air India a larger margin – the first two goals having come within minutes of each other in the 25th minute itself from the boots of Sudesh A. The first half ended 2-0 in AI’s favour.
In the second half, before Bhutan could make a match of the game, Sidharth Nayak scored Air India’s third goal and sealed the result. It was only in the dying minutes of the match that Bhutan scored the face-saver and ended the match 3-1.
On Wednesday, Port Trust Kolkata will take on Kerala in the third quarterfinal scheduled to begin at 1.30 PMa.
