Imphal, June 16 2022:
UVSA (Lilong Cha-jing) came through a tight tussle to grind out a 1-0 success against SVA (Khongjom Keirak) and book their place in the final of the 4th Sangai Trophy Veterans' Football Championship 2022 on Thursday.
The two teams were evenly matched for the major part of the first period until UVSA broke the deadlock in the 30th minute after being awarded a penalty kick.
And it was N Itocha who stepped up and scored from the spot.
After conceding, SVA ramped up pressure upfront but their efforts proved futile as UVSA were resolute in defence and kept their opponents off the score-board through the remaining minutes of contest to earn their well-deserved victory enroute to the final where they will meet FC Imphal.
UVSA and FC Imphal will square off for the title on June 19 .
