Imphal, August 25 2016:
Torrential rain disrupted the second match day of the 11th Manipur State League today as half a game between NISA, Thangmeiband and USA, Khurai at Mapal Kangjeibung had to be postponed.
NISA were taking a 1-0 lead at the end of the first half.
Although the weather was sunny at the start of the match, the match had to be postponed as heavy rain rendered the pitch at the field unplayable after the first half of the match.
The goal for NISA was scored by Th Thangamba Meitei in the 18th minute.
USA missed an opportunity in the end of the normal time before rains played spoilsports.
The downpour in the break washed away all the markings inside the pitch.
Although the organisers made hectic attempts to resume the match, the continuous downpour prevented the resumption of the match.
The match will remain postponed until a new fixture is scheduled, according to the organisers.
