Imphal, October 31 2013:
KSC, Lambulane and USA, Khurai will slug out to avert relegation from the Manipur State league football tournament after suffering identical 1-0 defeats to AIM, Khabam and MPSC respectively in the knock matches of the league competition's 8th edition at Mini stadium, Bishnupur today.
Date for the relegation play-off is yet to be decided.
Inspite of being compelled to test its bench strength following suspension of four regular players as punishment for their involvement in assaulting a match official in its previous match, the Khabam side showed resilience in overcoming KSC by the slenderest of margin as M Robinson struck the matchwinner in the 52nd minute from a Th Vandona essay.
MPSC also staved off a strong challenge from USA with Mukulung netting the only goal in the 43rd minute following a Ksh Kanta corner kick.
