Kalyani, March 6 : A daring performance by the Indian Arrows, led by Ahan Prakash, the youngest captain ever in the I-League, saw the Venkatesh Shanmugam-coached side inflict a 3-0 defeat on NEROCA on Saturday.
Harsh Patre netted a goal in each half while Vanlalruatfela struck one in the second half to complete the victory for the Arrows at the Kalyani Municipal Stadium.
To add to that, some great handy work by skipper Ahan between the sticks aided Arrows bag their second win of the I-League season.
Meanwhile, trouble continues to brew for Gift Raikhan’s NEROCA as they have won just one of their last nine matches and find themselves staring relegation.
The Indian Arrows had lost 0-4 to NEROCA in their earlier clash this season, but this time the youngsters took the game to the Manipuri side, matching blow for blow against the seasoned opponents.
It was the Arrows that started the match on an attacking note in an attempt to take the early lead. It seemed like the Arrows had reserved their best for the latter stage of the season as tacky work with possession continued to give NEROCA trouble.
