Solid SC, which fielded three foreign players in their squad at yesterday’s match, did however, go down fighting. During the 29th Minute of the first half Leading aircraftman Janaka Chaminda scored the opening goal for Air Force, whilst Leading aircraftman Dilshan (Captain) scored the 2nd goal at the 34th Minute of the second half, when all thought that the officials would have to go for extra time.
