Imphal, December 20 2016:
Outstation team Assam Regimental Centre (ARC), Shillong beat Southern Sporting Union (SSU), Singjamei by a narrow 1-0 margin today to enter the final of the ongoing 60th CC Meet.
The ARC outfits were in command of the match for most part of the game which also saw some squandered chances from both sides.
However, SSU made unprecedented surge in the last 15 minutes of the second half although their efforts did not yield any significant outcome.

The ARC side capitalised on the goal netted by N Rakesh Singh in the 17th minute.
Unmarked Rakesh connected well to a long range attempt from near the halfway line by R Lalnuntluanga and struck a powerful shot that crashed into the net.
ARC could have extended the lead had Rakesh and C Lalmalsawma's attempts on goal were not palmed away skilfully by SSU custodian and skipper S Dinakumar in the second half.
The two brilliant saves turned out to be a bundle of nerves for SSU for the rest of the game.
SSU's Md Sahidur also got an anxious moment to save some bluff in the additional time of the second half.
However, he failed to convert the scoring opportunity.
The four-minute injury time of the second half also witnessed some fans rising in protest against the referee's decision arising out of 'communication gap' between the centre referee and AR-2 .
The AR-2 raised the flag for an offside even as the centre referee awarded a corner kick in favour of ARC.
The referee had a tough time controlling an SSU player who tried to attack their rivals with bottles.
A number of SSU fans gathered to protest the referee's decision after the match.
However, unwarranted incident was averted with the intervention of the security personnel.
