BMSC took off the game on an attacking note showering a barrage of shots against FC Imphal City and took control of the first half with 3-0 lead.

Kharivam Pravananda found the breakthrough in the 14th minute of the match while Ngariyambam Yaiphaba extended the celebration with yet another goal the very next minute.

Michael Lunminlal Kipgen then fired in the third goal in the 36th minute of the match as FC Imphal failed to resist the BMSC forward from breaching their defence line.

After the break, BMSC pick up the game from where they left but faced some opposition from alerted FC Imphal City defence line.

FC Imphal City however could not hold off the pressure for long and it was in the 75th minute that Usham Ajeet Meetei banged in the fourth goal before Pravananda rounded off the scoring during the stoppage time and completed the 5-0 rout.

BMSC will host TRAU in the next match on April 19 at the same venue and FC Imphal City will host NEROCA in the second match the same day.
