Manorama Gold Cup: Josco holds Akbar Travels with late equaliser
Josco FC came back from a two goal deficit to hold Akbar Travels Mumbai in the second match of Group A quarter final league in Malayala Manorama Gold Cup All-India Football Tournament at Seethi Haji floodlight stadium, Edavanna Malappuram.
Akbar Travels Nigerian striker Ineg Bemnik Pedizo opened the score in 12th minute of the game and then doubled the lead in 41st minute.
But Josco came back quickly thanks to Shine Raj who scored from a freekick in the closing minutes of the first half.
Josco kept pressing the opponents and was rewarded in the closing stages with Suresh finding the net in the 87th minute to take home a crucial point.
SBT will take on Indian Navy in the third match of Group A tomorrow in a must-win game.

@ Anandi,
Could you be more specific on which match ?
January 17th, 2010 at 10:44 pm
Thanks for your reply.
I am referring to the Manorama Gold Cup matches. After the match you don’t even upload the scores. Just the event and that it is Past Event. We get to know the results only the next day at Indianfootball.com
It would have done well for your site to give the details of the match with the score, scorers, etc. Like other football sites like Indianfootball.com, goal.com or even kolkatafootball.com
Thanks again.

Hi Jason,
Is any TV channel covering the E K Nayanar Gold Cup?
Thanks..Sanjoy
February 15th, 2010 at 1:01 pm
@sanjoy EKN Gold Cup there is no live telecast. But Most of the news channels like India Vision and Kairali shows clipping in news. “Kairali People” channel shows highlights at about midnight
