KOLKATA, Nov 10: Ranty Martins took his unmatched goal-scoring record in I-League another step ahead scoring five for his new team Prayag United SC, which pummelled United Sikkim FC 10-1 to record the second biggest win of I-League, at the Kolkata’s Salt Lake Stadium on Saturday (November 10).
The Kolkata team, which had lost its previous match against Shillong Lajong FC, made one of the most spectacular returns to form under its new Dutch coach Eelco Schattorie, who joined the team just a day ago.
Looking gain the advantage early Prayag United pressed for attack and found the goal in the second minute when Ranty volleyed home a cross from left winger CK Vineeth. The Sikkim team, which was playing its first match on the plains after four homes matches at Gangtok, quickly levelled the issue with Nima Tamag scoring with a fine grounder.
This all about United Sikkim, which was left to retrieving the ball from its own goal as Prayag United launched a blitz of attack. Ranty and his Costa Rican colleague Carlos Hernandes shared the next four goals in the first half to have Prayag United leading 5-1 at half time.
The two players showed great understanding around the United Sikkim box and turned the opponent defenders into mere spectators showing great sense of position. Ranti made it 2-1 in the 16th minute off a Carlos corner while Carlos finished a powerful left footer to make it 3-1 in the 22nd minute. The Costa Rican World Cupper followed it up with a neat lob in the 35th minute to make it 4-1 before Ranty completed his hattrick in the 39th minute guiding home a S. Malswamtluanga cross.
There was brief pause in the scoring process after the break but Prayag United picked up the momentum again as Malswamtluanga found the Sikkim net following a nice set-up by Ranty in the 71st minute (6-1). The home side kept up the relentless attack and found the goal again when Malswamtluanga laid Ranty off with a minus and the Nigerian striker complimented with a nice finish (7-1). Ranty completed his tally of five goals in the 79th minute when he found the net off a pass from midfielder Lalkamal Bhowmik (8-1).
Substitute Mohammad Rafiq, who came for Calros Hernandes, made it 9-1 in the injury time before the United Sikkim’s costa Rican defender Michael Steven Rodriguez sealed the scoring process with a suicidal goal as he tried to clear a cross from Vineeth (10-1).
While United SC have ten points in their bag courtesy this win, United Sikkim stay put on 4th.
