Manjeri (Kerala) [India], April 7 : The remaining last spot in the Group Stages of the Super Cup was snatched away in style by Goa giants Churchill Brothers as they earned a dominant 6-0 victory over Real Kashmir at the Payyanad Stadium here on Thursday.Liberian striker Ansumana Kromah was the star performer with four goals against his name.After their engaging highly spirited rivalry in the I-League only a few months ago, Thursday's knock-out encounter was a complete contradiction, as Churchill Bothers enjoyed total control over the proceedings.The competitive edge of the match was completely wiped off in the first half when the winners raced to a 3-0 lead before the referee blew for a breather. The scenario hardly changed in the second half, either, as the men from Srinagar could hardly put up a fightback to end their miseries.With Real Kashmir not displaying enough attacking flair, Churchill took the lead in the 6th minute of the match off a penalty kick. Real Kashmir goalkeeper Imran Arshad committed the blunder of bringing down Churchill midfielder l Rama Gaonkar inside the box and paid the penalty for it.Uruguayan striker Martin Nicolas Chavez scored from the spot with consummate ease as he placed the ball to the corner of the net with a deft strike.Any hope of Real Kashmir making a turnaround after conceding an early goal started to end as Churchill continued to attack relentlessly. Churchill's goalkeeper Nora Fernandes barely had to touch the ball, his counterpart remained a busy man under the Real Kashmir bar.The losers certainly didn't learn from their mistakes and conceded yet another penalty kick in the 35th minute. This time the culprit was their skipper Jestin George, who used unfair means to bring down Kingslee Fernandes inside the Srinagar team box. The penalty was converted by Liberian Ansumana Kromah.The Goan side made Real Kashmir dance on their tunes, they struck the third goal at the stroke of halftime when Kromah scored once again - this time it was a timely header from a rebound.After the change of ends, Real Kashmir literally caved in, almost allowing free rein to their rivals. Kromah completed his hat-trick in the 60th minute when he made the most of a pass provided by Chavez. As if to celebrate his hat trick, the Liberian added one more to his tally in the very next minute. He appeared unstoppable as he made a solo run to put Churchill Brothers in a 5-0 lead.The sixth goal came in the 75th minute. Sardor Jakhonov, a recruit from Uzbekistan, had the opportunity to get his name on the scoresheet against a hapless defence. With this result, Churchill Brothers now join Mumbai City FC, Chennaiyin FC, and NorthEast United FC in Group D of the Super Cup.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
