Siddhu powers Udaya Sports Club home

Udaya Sports Club waged a grim battle with Sarwaswati Sports Club but managed to score a late winner to snatch a narrow 1-0 win in a hardfought first round league match of the 24th Late Shri Ramanath Payyade Football Tournament, at the KSA ground, Cross Maidan, here on Sunday.

Both Udaya and Sarawati played an open attacking game but the forwards of the two teams wasted quite a number of chances.
