In a nail-biting Goa Professional League match at Nagoa ground, Sporting Clube de Goa snatched a 1-0 victory against Cortalim Villagers SWSC in the dying moments of the game. Mark Carvalho's 90+3' minute goal proved the decisive moment in a match marred by tensions and yellow cards.

Alister Fernandes was sent off after receiving two yellow cards, reducing Cortalim to 10 men in the closing stages. The Sporting Clube players - Vikram Venkatachalam, Ivon Costa, Alton Vaz, and Joyson Gauncar - also found themselves in the referee's notebook during the intense encounter.

The win solidifies Sporting Clube's top-of-the-table position, with 38 points from 15 games. They maintain a slender lead over second-placed Dempo Sports Club, who have 28 points from 17 matches.

In a separate relegation league match at Benaulim, Churchill Brothers and Guardian Angel SC played out a goalless draw, adding little excitement to the day's footballing proceedings.
