Classic Football Academy swept aside Shillong Lajong FC 4-0 as SAIRC suffered a 2-1 defeat to North East United FC on the first day of the national group stage (Imphal) of the Reliance Foundation Development League 2022-23 at SAI Complex, Takyel on Monday.
Serto Worneilen Kom scored twice in Classic FA's 4-0 drubbing of the Shillong side.
Classic FA were made to work hard for their opener that came in the 30th minute through Serto Worneilen before the home team rained goals after the break.
Chinkhosiam Dimngel doubled the lead in the 67th minute as Worneilen scored his second goal in the 81st minute and then it was up to Yendrembam Rohit who found the fourth goal in the 84th minute to close out the game.
SAIRC, meanwhile, squandered a first-half lead to go down 2-1 to North East United FC in the day's other match.
Khiribam Pravananda put SAIRC ahead in the 41st minute and his side looked like they were holding on their lead until Alfred Lalruotsang made it all square in the 81st minute for North East before his fellow Dajeidlang Wanshong converted in the 88th minute to make sure of their victory.
