AFC's win today, amidst many hit and squandered chances from their rivals, propelled them to the second round.
In the evenly contested match, both sides could not easily make foray into each others' territories as the two teams kept their citadel well guarded.
However, the Churachandpur outfits capitalised on a penalty kick awarded in their favour in the 38th minute to move into the next round of the tournament.
The penalty was awarded against KFC as AFC striker Paolemsiam Vaiphei was halted in his run by KFC custodian Laltinmang Misao in the box.
Paolemsiam Vaiphei stepped up and made no mistake slotting the ball straight into the net.
After conceding a goal, KFC made frenetic attempts to level the score.
Even as the KFC dominated possession, they could not take full advantages of slew of scoring chances due apparently to lack of composure in the goal area.
The second session of the match also witnessed the Senapati side launching series of attacks.
But they could not penetrate into the citadel of AFC as the defenders stood firm to thwart any danger.
