JSYC, Kangpokpi looked to enjoy slight edge in terms of possession and scoring chances throughout the game against MPSC, who were recently crowned Winners' Cup champions, and thus led the first half 2-1 thanks to Kaiokhokam G brace before Paogouthang Lhouvum headed home the winner in the second half.

Although MPSC seemed to be far from their fine form, they were first to set the pace of the game with Ngamkholien opening up the account early in the 8th minute off a header following a fine aerial cross into the box by H Dayananda from the right flank.
JSYC however mounted a quick response and pulled level in the 24th minute with the help of Kaiokhokam G who deftly took advantage of a counter attack to beat MPSC custodian with ease.
Kaiakhokam G proved to be a constant threat to MPSC defence as the game progressed and off a fine cross from by Lunminthang Haokip from the right flank, Kaikhokam banged in his second and earned his team a 2-1 lead till the break.
MPSC which failed to equalise in the first half struggled hard to return in the game as soon as the second half begin and after few unsuccessful runs, Wisibou was able to score the equaliser in the 67th minute off a clean pass from his team mate Benjamin and made it anyone's game again.
But to their disappointment, Paogouthang Lhouvum headed home the JSYC's third the very next minute capitalising on a cross set by Lenbuilun Kipgen from the right flank.
MPSC made an all out attack latter on in search of the leveller but their efforts proved too blunt as JSYC managed to keep all threats at bay with some exemplary defending performances and go home 3-2 for the next round where they face TRAU.
KLASA, Keinou will face AMOFA, Moirang in the first match of second round tomorrow at 11.45 am while YPHU, Lalambung Makhong will play NACO, Nambul Mapal latter at 2.15 pm in the second match.
