Imphal, September 04 2012:
Defending champion NISA, Thangmeiband suffered a humiliating 3-1 defeat to TRAU, Kwakeithel in the 11th match of the 7th Manipur State League football at Mapal Kangjeibung today.
While goalkeeper L Bishorjit's clumsy collection from an N Dhananjoy attempt resulted in S Surchand Singh volleying home the TRAU opener in the 27th minute, Th Premkumar increased the TRAU advantage 11 minutes later from an L Bikram corner kick for a healthy 2-0 lead at the break.
Yet another blunder by the NISA custodian enabled Surchand to seal the victory in second half injury time as Surchand made no mistake from close range following an indirect free kick by Bikram.
The match referee awarded the free kick to penalise Bishorjit handling the ball from a team-mate's back pass.
The win was the second for the Kwakeithel side in three matches in the 10-team competition.
JSYC, Sadar Hills will play MPSC tomorrow.
