Sankata Club registered a comfortable 3-0 victory over Brigade Boys Club and moved to third in the table of the Qatar Airways Martyr's Memorial 'A' Division League 2021/22 on Sunday.
Uttam Rai scored twice and Laxman Ruchal also scored another in Sankata's win. Rai scored his first in the 13th minute before doubling in the 28th. Ruchal scored in the 38th minute when the ball fell into his feet following a poor clearance by BBC's defender.
BBC, meanwhile, are 11th with five points from six matches.
Sankata's head coach Bishnu Gurung said it was a comfortable victory for the team. "They were missing key players which made the job easy for us. After a comfortable lead, we decided to hold our position in the final few minutes of the game," he said.
BBC's Sanoj Shrestha said defensive errors lead to Sankata's goal. "Defensive errors and the goals changed the momentum. We are now under pressure for results," said Shrestha while also adding that their next game against Manang Marsyangdi Club in Pokhara was now going to be difficult.
Three Star Club will play against Tribhuvan Army Football Club in the second match of the day on Sunday.
