CHENNAI: INDIAN Oil Corporation secured their third win of the tournament when they defeated Malaysia Junior National in a Pool B match in the MCC-Murugappa Gold Cup at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Stadium on Tuesday. After a goalless first half, Gurjinder Singh scored in the 33rd minute for Indian Oil. Sumit Kumar doubled the lead in the 58th minute.
