Churchill Brothers scored two late goals to defeat Indian Arrows 2-0 in the I-League contest at the Tilak Maidan Stadium here on Monday.
Churchill thus recorded their third consecutive victory to go seventh in the I-League points table with 10 points.
Indian Arrows are eighth with the same number of points as Churchill.
Dwada Ceesay (88th minute) and Israil Gurung (90+2') struck in the dying minutes of the match to help Churchill register a comprehensive victory over the young Arrows.
The hosts had the better chances of scoring since the first half itself while Arrows failed to penetrate the opponents defence.
The first goal came as a result from a Koffi attempted shot which was blocked by defender Anwar Ali but the ball fell nicely for Ceesay who then netted it calmly.
Gurung then scored the breather for the hosts after Koffi took a quick free-kick which allowed the substitute, who was in the right position to score during injury time.
The match was mostly played in the visitors' half.
However, Churchill failed to score few more due to constant blocking and clearing of the ball by the Arrows.
