Imphal, December 03 2022:
Wakambam Michael Meetei's late strike helped Rising Athletic Union (RAU) edged past Sagolband United 1-0 to set up tittle clash of the 15th Manipur State League with KLASA FC.
Barring the goal, the second semifinal match was a see-saw battle throughout the game that saw a couple of missed chances from both sides.
After a frustrating first half, the squads showed their intent with a flurry of attack and counter-attacks but efforts by either side proved futile for the major part of the second period.
And when the game looked it was going into extra time, Wakambam Michael Meetei did what RAU needed most as he pounced on a defensive slip-up to send the ball into the back of the net in the 88th minute.
RAU then clung on to seal a thrilling victory en route to the final where they will square off against KLASA, who had defeated KIYC on penalties in the first semifinal match.
