Imphal, May 10 2017:

In the day's first encounter, IEVFA, Salungpham eked out a 1-0 victory over LAGSA, Sugnu.
IEVFA took an early lead as RK Sanahal struck the opener in the 8th minute.
Even as the Sugnu veterans pushed hard to find the equaliser, they could not breach their rivals' defence line as the defenders stood firm to thwart any danger posed by them.
The match also saw the referee sending off Augustine Zou in the 41st minute for his unsporting behaviour.
In another encounter, TBDFA, Taobungkhok romped to a 3-0 victory against AYMFA, Yairipok.
Th Krishnatombi hit a brace (8' and 55') while N Uttam scored one in the 30+ minute to wrap the match in style.
AYMFA forwards made frenetic attempts to equalise the score.
However, they failed to create chances in the face of strong defence put up by their opponents.
