Imphal, June 08 2017:
WADA Kangsoibi Mapal defeated MTFC Ningthoukhong 6�5 via tiebreaker in the first semi-final match of the 10th Loktak Trophy organised by the All Moirang Football Association at Moirang Multipurpose Higher Secondary School ground.
Bad weather delayed the day's match but it was unable to deter the exciting contest between the two teams.
WADA started the attack and turned one of the chances into a goal at 29th minute when Pritam scored a beauty.
WADA had been leading the game yet the spirit was unbeatable in the Ningthoukhong camp.
In fifteen minutes to the second half, Jaison left the Kangsoibi Mapal defence in the dark with a quick pass from the midfield.
The contest was balanced and it was apparent when the whistle blew and by the regulation time, the score ended in a 1�1 tie.
However, just as in the beginning of the game, WADA had an edge over the MTFC during the penalty shootout.
It scored all five of the kicks but the loser missed one of them.
Now, WADA will face the winner of tomorrow's second semi-final match in which GDC Sugnu Thinungei will clash with AMOFA Academy at 2pm.
