Imphal, August 24 2016:
Debutant Sagolband United (SU), Sagolband started their 11th Manipur State League campaign in style by beating Nambul Mapal Athletic and Cultural Organisation (NACO), Nambul Mapal 3-0 in the opening match of the league today at Mapal Kangjeibung.
Although both the teams made an impressive start, the first half turned out to be a listless affair as both teams struggled to settle.
Even as SU put more pressure to their opponents, they failed to break the cautiously maintained defence line of NACO.

Ch Roshan of NACO was sent off after he was cautioned twice in the 34th and 44th minute.
Taking advantage of the 10 men NACO, SU upped the pressure after the breather.
They fortuitously broke the deadlock when Th Krishnanda's header off a free-kick by midfielder Lalramhluaha Hmar from near the right corner found the target in the 48th minute.
N Shitaljit doubled the lead when he slammed home a goal in the 75th minute through a long pass from midfielder Lalramhluaha Hmar.
W Daniel slotted home another goal for SU in the dying minute through a pass from N Shitaljit from near the right corner to seal the victory of his team.
