Imphal, November 13 2022:
The 15th Manipur State League on Sunday saw United Khawzim Brothers (UKB) and Manipur Police Sports Club (MPSC) notch up comfortable wins at Artificial Turf Ground, Lamlong Thongkhong.
UKB swept aside Athletics Football Club 3-0 with Thangminlen Misao, S Kamthian John Ngaihte and Ngamminlal Lhungdin getting on the scoresheet.
Thangminlen registered the first successful strike on target in the 18th minute as S Kamthian John doubled their lead in the 75th minute before Ngamminlal slotted home their third in the 78th minute to ensure UKB ran out easy 3-0 winners.
Earlier, MPSC shrugged off an early deficit to outscore Yarkhok United FC 3-1 .
The police squad trailed behind when Themchui RS converted for the Yarkhok side just six minutes into the game.
However, MPSC responded with a 16th-minute leveller from Sanasam Robinson Singh before YUFC conceded an own goal in the 56th minute after a defensive error by Yuryashim Yangya.
MPSC compounded YUFC's woes when Haokhosei buried the ball in the back of the net in the 80th minute, leaving little time for their opponents to mount a comeback.
