United Pukhao Sports Association (UPSA) carved out a narrow 1-0 win over ICSA Irengbam as Manipur Police Sports Club (MPSC) and Young Welfare Club (YWC) played out a 1-1 draw in the 13th AMFA Senior Women's Football League on Tuesday.
UPSA and ICSA looked evenly matched throughout the contest that saw some missed chances from both teams.
UPSA were rewarded for their goal early in the second period, thanks to Nongmeikapam Sibani Devi.
Sibani made her effort count in the 49th minute as her side held on to their slender lead to secure all three points.
In the other match, MPSC fought back from a goal down to salvage a 1-1 tie with YWC.
Hoineihat put YWC ahead after finding the back of the net in the 36th minute but MPSC capitalised on their possession in the early stage of the second half to put themselves on level terms.
It was Ngangom Bala Devi who scored the leveller for her team in the 45th minute that eventually denied YWC of full points.
