India's Saurav Ghosal went down in straight games against top seed Spaniard Borja Golan in the semi-final of the Financière Banque Nationale Montreal Open squash tournament, on Sunday.

Ghosal lost 3-11, 7-11, 8-11 on the all-glass court at the Montreal Forum.

It was the pair's fifth Tour encounter and, after 45 minutes, World No.9 Golan recorded his fifth win over the new world No.17 from Kolkata.

"Lost 3-0 to Golan today. He was very good and I wasn't at my best. Will have to learn from this and come back stronger! Disappointed" Ghosal tweeted.
