Imphal, November 26 2021:
Riverlane YC and Lam-bung YCC registered identical wins on Friday to set up title clash in the DC Chandel Trophy Football Tournament.
Riding on WL Gladson's first-half goal, Riverlane came through a tight tussle with Purum Tampak to pull off a 1-0 win that sent them straight to the final.
After gruelling minutes of back and-forth exchanges, Riverlane were finally rewarded when Gladson pounced on a defensive lapse from Purum to score as his 29th-minute strike eventually proved to be the match winner.
Lambung YCC too scored a goal without reply to register a 1-0 victory over Tampi FC in the other semifinal encounter.
A 24th minute goal by Shelpa was enough for the Lambung side as they stood their ground and resolutely defended their narrow lead despite a spirited comeback bid from their opponents.
The final match will take place on Saturday, November 27 .
