Churchill enter Fed Cup last four

Egyptian attacking midfielder Abdelhamid Shabana set up one and scored the winner as Churchill Brothers defeated Eagles FC 2-1 in a Group A match at the Jawaharlal Stadium here today to become the first club to book their place in semifinals of 35th Federation Cup.
After a goalless first half, Balwant Singh gave Churchill Brothers the lead from a Shabana freekick but Eagles equalised through Sakibo.
However Shabana confirmed the Goan club's berth in the last four with a sumptuous freekick after Eagles' Charles Dzisah had been sent off for a second yellow.
In another Group A match here, a second half strike from Baldeep Singh saw United SC beat Pune FC 1-0.

It was a must-win game for both sides but in the end the Kolkata side triumphed to remain in contention for a semi-final place.
The first half saw very little goalmouth action as neither side created too many openings.

Mike Snoei replaced James Meyer with Gabriel Fernandes at the interval but that substitution didn't really change Pune's fortunes as they struggled to create chances from open play.
United SC then suffered a blow as Ranti Martins went off with an injury and was replaced by Baldeep Singh.
The deadlock was finally broken by United SC when Eric Brown went past Othallo Tabia on the left and found Baldeep (71st) in the area and the substitute scored past Amrinder.

In Manjeri, second half goals from Josimar da Silva (75th) and substitute Rakesh Masih (90+2) kept alive Mohammedan Sporting's semi-final hopes as they downed lowly Bhawanipore FC 2-0 in a Group D match.
Josimar scored off Manish Maithani's corner after Nabi fed the ball for the Brazilian inside the six-yard area.
Mohammedan Sporting saw their lead getting doubled deep into second half stoppage time as substitute Rakesh Masih sent home a splendid left-footed long ranger that dipped into the net.
