Imphal, January 10 2014 :
A Anand rose to the occassion to score a brace and helped his team, RDO Wangkhei to convincingly beat NU Kshetrigao and enter the semi final of the 5th State Level M Rabichandra Memorial Football Tournament today.
In a lop sided match, that never lived up to the billing of a quarter final match, A Raj opened the account for RDO, Wangkhei when he managed to beat a couple of NU defenders and send the ball past the hapless custodian in the 19th minute of the match.
The one goal lead spurred the Wangkhei team to pile on the pressure and they repeatedly raided the territory of NU with some incisive attacking play, resulting in a goal from A Anand in the 23rd minute.
There was no lull in the attack and the third goal came barely three minutes after the second goal, when S Deepak found the net in the 26th minute.
The break was taken with RDO Wangkhei leading three goals to nil.
After the break, NU Kshetrigaon put more men on the attack and this resulted in a goal in the 53rd minute when Shobha caught the defenders on the wrong foot and had little trouble in finding the net.
The goal only galvanised RDO to go on the offensive and A Anand found the net again in the 59th minute to score his second goal of the match.
