NEW DELHI: An exciting clash took place in the final game of group B of the Hero Futsal Club Championship, as Sporting Clube de Goa secured a win against Speedforce FC, with the scoreline reading 8-5 at full-time.

Rohit scored his second 5 minutes later to double his side’s advantage, but Zubair Sultan and Shubham Dayma scored on the 11th and 13th minute to bring the game back on level terms. Lloyd Cardozo put Sporting back in front and then an unfortunate own goal from Sayeed Ali doubled their lead.
