Ogba Kalu Nnanna scored five minutes from the final whistle to hand Churchill Brothers a come-form-behind 2-1 victory over JCT in a 17th round match of the ONGC [Get Quote] I-League football championship in Ludhiana on Thursday.

The victory took the Goa [Images] side to second place on the 12-team table. They have 33 points from 17 outings, the same as Mohun Bagan, but are placed a run above the Kolkata side because of a superior goal difference of plus-21 to Bagan's plus-8.

Sporting Clube, with 34 points from 16 matches, are perched atop with 34 points.

JCT, after their eighth defeat, are in tenth place with 17 points.

JCT took the lead in the 15th minute through Jagpreet Singh, but in the face of sustained pressure from the Goa team failed to hold on to it.

Odafe Onyeka Okolie, the tournament's leading scorer with 20 goals, restored parity in the 50th minute before Nnanna could clinch the match-winner for Churchill five minutes form time.
