Home Team review:
United Sports Club face Sporting club de Goa in their second home game of I-League as they face Sporting Club de Goa today at Kalyani Municipal ground. United SC had a good win in their last game against Rangdajeid United and will be looking to carry on the good form on to their next game.But Coach Elcho Schattorrie will face an improved Sporting Club de Goa team this season.
Elcho will be looking to play in an usual 4-3-1-2 formation where Bello and Anupam Sarkar will look to mann the heart of defence,Dipak Mondal and Dhanachandra manning the both side backs,though Sukhen day might make the cut on the left back position after his good performance against Mohammedan sporting in the last game.Lalkamal,Vineeth, Asif/Shouvik Chakraborty in the midfield,Eric Brown as withdrawal striker and Ranty martins upfront could be paired with young Md.Rafiq.
Elcho is likely to bench Surojit Bose and Biswajit Biswas and use one of them as his post 75 minutes -substitution in the second half to bring more penetration in the dying stages,he has also a good option in midfield in form of Jayanta who can play the role of a defensive midfielder as well as supply long balls to both flanks who can turn them into the box for Ranty Martins. Elchos boy's would look to play the conventional hold and play looking to dominate possession and exchanging passes in midfield to pull out the opponent defense line from sitting deep inside and then create chances by pushing surprise passes through to Ranty to have some spaces to operate near the Sporting Club de Goa's box.
Eric Brown will be likely to play the withdrawal forward role picking up passes from midfield and linking them through to Ranty upfront and exchange passes near the opponent box to create openings.
The major worry factor for United SC will be the obligatory office-match duties of some their players who were away to play matches for their office teams including number one custodian Sangram and midfield regular Shouvik Chakraborty. While Sangram is likely to feature in the starting lineup,Shouvik who scored a brilliant goal in his last game in Calcutta league might be on the bench considering he would be travelling overnight by train to feature in the match.Though it is a tough toss between Shouvik and Asif in the midfield to play alongside Lalkamal.Though Jayanta Sen might get a look-in too to create a defensive threat infront of United back four to deny space to dangerous Boima Kharpeh.
Away Team review:
The Sporting Club de Goa team is been managed by Spaniard Oscar Bruzon since last season has a very balanced team this season at his disposal,the squad has a good balanced of youth and experiences and team features some good local Goan boys and some high potential foreign recruits. Sporting will look to unleash Boima Kharpeh in the attack line,the Liberian-Australian forward was impressive last season with Pune FC with strength and aerial presence and has good sense of scoring both inside and outside box. He would be supported by Dawson and Victorino as Sporting will look to field a 4-3-3 formation.
While the other foreign recruits Spaniard defender Gonzalo Neila will be leading the the defence line aided by young duo of Matthew Gonsalves and Joyner Laurenco,as they will be playing as side backs. Bruzon will be looking to use his other foreign recruit Arturo Navarro Garcia at some point in the second half to bring some creativity in the attacking play from midfield from the former Valencia player.
Sporting has some young local talent to show in midfield in the form of tall medio Rowlin Borges and Pratesh Shirodkar while attacking from the flanks would be mainly from Jovel Martins and Joseph Perriera

Tactical Note:
With dangerous Boima Kharpeh,Dawson,Victorio upfront the team is likely to play a high tempo game distributing balls to both flanks and create pressure on United defenders. Sporting will be wary of United midfield strength led by their star central-midfielder Lalkamal and C.K Vineeth on left. While there are several battle within a battle here in the form of Gonsalves vs Eric Brown, Lalkamal vs Arturo Garcia,Ranty vs Gonzalo Neila and Belo vs Boima, it likely the team which will win the battle of midfield is likely to take something out of this game as the tactical fight between Dutch coach Elcho Schattorrie and Spaniard coach Oscar Bruzon comes out of drawing board to the beautiful grass turf of Kalyani stadium.
Post Match Review:
Sporting played with an unusual formation for the match playing their attacking option No. 9 Arturo Garcia in the defence with Gonzalo Neila and it made their backline look very fragile throughout 90 minutes.Sporting Coach beefed the midfield and forward line with attack minded players as he played with Boimah Kharpeh,Victorino,Dawson,Jovel Martins,Rowlin
Borges and it proved a difficult tactical move to understand.This formation created lot of openings for Sporting but they struggled when there was a counter attack from United SC.
United could have scored a few more if Ranty Martins did not squander couple of one-on-one opportunities.
United scored their first goal in a brilliant counter attacking move as Vinneth picked up the long ball coming from Dipak down the right flank and with space left vacant moved closed to Sporting box and crossed it into the box and Ranty made no mistake with a simple tap-in to make it 1-0.But United could not hold on to their one goal lead as Victorino Fernandez equalized in the second half in another brilliant move as United defence was caught napping in the second half.
As the game looked for a tame draw,Elcho made some interesting tactical changes bringing in Shouvik in place of Vineeth at half time and then substituting Rafiq with Biswajit Biswas,as Rafiq had a pretty dull day on the field.The young medio did not disappoint as he scored his debut I league goal as Sporting goalkeeper fumbled a powerful shot from Dhanachandra and young Biswajit showed good intention to follow and picked up the rebound to place it at the back of the net to give United SC a 2-1 lead.
As Sporting pressed forward for an equalizer they were caught off-guard in a counter attacking move as Eric Brown beat the offside trap and an alert Ranty Martins played him on side and Eric continued his brilliant solo run to put the margin beyond contention in injury time to make it 3-1 for United.
Final Score:
United SC 3-1 Sporting Club de Goa
