Imphal, October 29 2022:
Riverlane YC emerged champions of the Chandel 2nd Division Football Tournament 2022 after they defeated SASA in the final match played at Ziontlang Village Ground, Chandel district on Saturday.
SASA went ahead in the 16th minute courtesy of a strike from Anthony but Riverlane YC clawed their way back into the game with a 49th minute leveller from Thaniwar whose effort paved the way for the penalty shootout where the Riverlane squad prevailed 5-4 in a nerve-wrecking contest.
In the shootout, Oliver, Angningwar, Thaniwar, Phowltha and Warnahring converted their shots to give their side a memorable day.
Thamlapokpi's SK Dar-pol walked away with the top-scorer award, SASA's Jv Rengmison was named best player and Riverlane's Ps Larngam was adjudged best goalkeeper.
The closing event was attended by MLA Chandel SS Olish, DC Chandel Rajkumar Mayanglambam, and Rev Dr Koningthung Ngoru Moyon, executive secretary Moyon Naga Baptist Association, as chief guest, guest of honour and dedicating minister, respectively.
