Anthony Wolfe in action for Sporting Clube de Goa

Trinidad & Tobago striker Anthony Wolfe scored a splendid hattrick as Sporting Clube de Goa trounced Sesa Football Academy 5-0 in GFA’s Knock-Out Cup quarterfinal match at Cuncolim ground on Wednesday. Sporting Goa led 2-0 at the interval.

Sporting Goa took the lead in the 36th minute when Anthony Wolfe managed to intercept a loose ball in the Sesa Football Academy defence and make them pay by coolly slipping it past the goalkeeper.

Less than 60 seconds later, a mix up in the Sesa Football Academy defence allowed Mauvin Borges to steal the ball and fire past the outrushing custodian to double the Flaming Oranje’s lead going into the breather.

Midway through the second session, Sporting Goa’s Wolfe blazed a 35-yard screamer into the back of the net to increase the lead.

In the closing minutes, Wolfe rounded the Sesa custodian to tap in and complete his hattrick, while substitute Victorino Fernandes completed the rout with a neat placement to the far corner.
