Amitabha Das Sharma, Guwahati, May 18, 2011
Services attained its best form in extra-time to beat Delhi 2-0 in a protracted pre-quarterfinal play-off and entered the quarterfinal league of the 65th senior National football championship for the Santosh Trophy here on Wednesday. The action at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium saw the regulation 90 minutes remaining barren before Services ended the goal drought with a goal in each of the two sessions of extra time. Making it a successful day for institutional sides, Railways downed Tripura 3-0 in another encounter at Bongaigaon (around 180km from here) to complete the quarterfinal qualification process.
Services struggled to string together the right attack combination for the greater part of the match. The Services team, mainly comprising Army recruits, used a three-man attack but failed to find any success. Railways joined Services and the two seeded sides — last year's runner-up Punjab and Goa — to complete the Group B line-up in the last-eight stage.
