Acme Sports Club scored an emphatic 4-1 victory over the local team in the quarterfinals of the State-level football tournament organised by AKP Sports Club, Sivakasi on 26th of April 2011. Sarath scored a brace and Ajmeer and Saravanan scored one apiece. The hosts scored a consolation goal late in the match. Right from the start Acme dominated possession and created numerous chances. After a spell of continued pressure, the goal they richly deserved came when Sarath received the ball on the right side of the box and blasted home at the near post past the goalkeeper.
The clubs went in at 1-0 at half time. In the second half, Acme picked up from where they left off and scored 3 more goals in quick succession to seal the tie. Goalkeeper Prem was substituted for what seemed to be a minor injury and the young replacement did well to come out and clear a half chance for the hosts. However he could not do much when the hosts took a corner early and an unmarked player shot the ball home through his hands from a short distance.
Acme will next play the semifinals against Tuticorin team in the semifinals scheduled for 28th May.
